I had my neck dissection in April and I am still numb. At first, I was numb on my neck, face, around my ear, shoulder, and chest. It got better week to week. I am still numb around the incision site and a little on my face.

My shoulder and neck muscles were VERY sore after surgery. I couldnt lift my arm at all for about 2 weeks. This is much better. My shoulder and neck are almost back to normal.

My staples did not hurt when they took them out.

Good luck on your pathology report. The hardest part is waiting. I will be thinking of you.
