Find a good physical therapist to help with the lymph drainage and stiff muscles. Been certain to warn them about the sensitive spots on you neck. I had one, called a neuroma(nerve didn't go back in sheath properly), that drive me nuts for about 5 years before it settled down. Hopefully yours will not take that long.
Take care,
Eileen
