Hi - I'm new to this website as I was searching for information on turkey neck. I finished radiation approximately 3 months ago for metastatic squamous cell carcinoma, unknown primary, most likely nasopharyngeal, stage I, with emergency surgery, then complete tonsillectomy, lymph node dissection, with biopsies of everywhere in my head practically, prior to my radiation. My radiation was for 6 weeks. I have turkey neck pretty bad and was referred to a physical therapist who specializes in this. There's so much more to it than rubbing your neck. You first have to stimulate other lymph nodes in order to prepare them to accept the lymph from your neck. It's very involved. If it really concerns you, like it did me, I would suggest you see about getting a referral to a physical therapist who specializes in this. I've only been for one training session, with my husband learning how to do the myofascial stretching of my neck, and I've been doing it own my own for just over a week, and people are already noticing a difference. I will be seeing the physical therapist twice a week for the next month to have this done. Hope this helps.
