Hi everybody! The side of my neck that was dissected has been real tight & kinda sore for a week or so & I just thought I strained the muscles or something, which may be the case. Today however I was doing the normal stretching & sort of touching & rubbing my neck & there is a definite sore spot & very small lump or something right next to the big artery which is throbbing. I suppose if it wasn't I'd have other things to worry about! Of course I'm thinking the worst!
