Hello @josk
Salonpas only work to block pain pathways so pain associated with the fibrosis could be relieved. I would consult with your doctor about other modalities to help like laser therapy, physical therapy and swallowing therapy. I'm not really sure all that is being used for fibrosis. Are you working with your doctor on this problem?

Hi Sue
Thanks for your feedback - and yes, my doctor is aware of my severe neck fibrosis and also my dysphagia - believe it's the late effects of radiation. I do have physical therapy on a regular basis on top of my daily dysphagia exercises (mainly on neck and jaw and swallowing). Just thought the salon pas might assist as well. Will definitely consult with my therapist on my next visit,
Again - thanks!
