Hi,Bob, I guess all of us who have a neck dissection go through the same thing.I had to take physical therapy to get side to side motion in my neck and mobility in my sholder.Also had three bouts with cellulitis with hospital stays for intravenious antibiotics,then they came to the conclusion it was lymphatic fluid that was stagnating. There is a name for this but I forgot it.It will get better as time goes by.I have also found the stiffness gets better as the day goes by.In March my plastic surgeon went in and cleared out a lot of scar tissue and redefined my scar.He did a beautiful job and my neck looks almost normal. Has anyone else had this done? It really helped with the stiff neck. Gwen :rolleyes:
