It seems that proper massage is the answer. I've had 3 sessions with the lymphedema therapist and there has been some improvement. She is moving the accumulated lymph fluid around and out, has manipulated the scar area and broken down the adhesions and generally made it feel much better. The scar is much softer now and more moveable.
I certainly can handle this small inconvenience however, I am looking forward to regaining feeling in my ear and neck.
Thnaks again.
