Dear DCS, After John's 1st neck disection, his jaw drooped, and after a peroid of time his right shoulder dropped about 2 inches. His right arm also lost strength. He lifted 5 lb. weights to regain that muscle, but his shoulder never bounced back. Radiation further aggrevated the situation. Ask about your husband doing some light exercises and give it some time. Amy in the Oz
