Hi Raymond-

I am a 1 year out from treatment and always woke up with a stiff/sore neck until I purchased a foam contoured pillow (about $50 at Costco). I sleep through the night now (with the help of 2 salagen tablets for dry mouth!) and have no pain in the morning. I still have numbness on the surgery side from the top of ear to shoulder and tingling in the fingers but neck is not as tight . Massage the tissue and exercise your neck. Go to physical therapy, they can show you some great exercises! laugh
