Hi to all,
My husband had a left neck dissection on June 11th, the doctor said that he had to remove his jugular veine because it has been damaged from the lymphnod (reccurent) and radiation. Any way, it has been two months and my husband still experiences an awful pain that he describes like a big needle shot on his neck. He is on pain medication ( darvocet 100) that he takes two pills every 4 hours. I noticed also that his left collar bone is pushed forward and looks like misplaced compared to the one on his right side. I don't know if a muscle has been removed as the doctor is very vague concerning details.
I feel like something is wrong, does the pain last that long? And is darvocet the right medecine in this case. The bottle does not last long. My husband is very frustrated, lost a lot of weight.
Do people that had before neck dissection, experience so much pain? If so, for how long?
Thank you all for any answer.
God bless you.
