Hi all,

When does the tightness in the neck after ND start to feel better?

As you may recall my Dad had a bilateral ND March 13/07. I know it's still fresh only being 2 months post surgery. His neck feels like he has a rope around it being pulled on both ends. When his face swells (it goes up a bit from time to time) it gets even tighter. This tight feeling is driving him crazy.

When did your tightness loosen up?

Thanks,
LisaB
