Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 372 | Dan had a radical neck dissection last Christmas eve and they took pretty much everything on the left side. He followed that with chemo/rad thru March, healed for a few months and then the shoulder/neck pain started. He has been in physical therapy twice a week for almost 2 months and that is helping but it's a slow process.
God bless,

My shoulder pain went away gradually. I think it took a couple of months. I had some PT but that made it worse. It went away on it's own. I am real careful about lifting anything heavy with my right arm. I avoid that at all costs.
Hope your treatment and healing go well!
