My one year aniversery for my neck disection will be Jan 31st. It takes a while. The numbness and feeling will take a long time. I still do not have much feeling on the side where they cut. I started to work out two weeks after surgery. The exercise really helps. I also had physical therapy. masssage, etc. You need this to get the blood flowing. I'm sure with exercise and a little stimulation once the staples are removed, you will start to feel better.
