Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,019 | Find a good physical therapist is my recommendation. I only had a selective neck dissection so my issues may not be as severe but, like Gary, the radiation seems to be the real issue for me. I went to a physical therapist twice a week for about 6 months (some of which my insurance paid for) and it was really worth it. If I find myself getting close to bad spasms again, I will go back to her.
