Joined: Oct 2019 Posts: 27 Likes: 1 | Anyone ever experience extreme tightness in the neck after treatment? Bob was doing so well but in the past couple weeks, he's complained more and more about how tight his neck is. You can even see the tendons standing out. He says it's just horrible and I don't know what I can do for him or even which doctor to ask. Any ideas? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2012 Posts: 3,267 Likes: 1 Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) | | Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts)
