My mother has gone to therpy after her radiation . Massages were done to losen up the tightness and swelling. As long as my mother walks around the house the swelling will go down but as soon as she gets back into bed BAM there it is again.Then pain gets worse when the swelling brews up. The massages do help some but it doesnt totaly go away. Me and my family continue to massage my mothers face just to get that little bit of releif. Just barely touch the area very lightly and rub around and around. "very Lightly" because the nurse told me the fluid is just under the skin so dont press to hard at all.
Hope you feel better soon Heidi
