My prayers too are sent your way! I had my neck dissection 2 years ago. Your neck may be ultra sensitive to touch (lots of the tinglies) after the incision heals. By touching and messaging the area mine became much less sensitive. Physical therapy really helped too with the range of motion returning close to normal and lymph message techniques helped with the swelling. The road is a bit bumpy but there are some great posts on this site with suggestions to help you get through it!! Looking forward to seeing you this fall! - Kris
