Post TORS when will I be able to eat?

I had TORS left tonsil and base of tongue and neck dissection a week ago. I’ve lost 11 lbs. very difficult to drink or eat. Too much pain. Is this normal?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Head & Neck Cancer Support Group.

For neck pain, they tried acupuncture which helped somewhat. Now for the past year I get Botox injection every 3-4 months in the muscles on my neck. It helps take away the pain from the scar tissue. And when it wears off, each time it seems to be getting a little better, although they say Botox is not a permanent fix.

It’s a very tough surgery you endured. It takes time for everything to settle. I’m very sorry to hear you are going thru this but you will see progress in the pain area and have faith in the experts that are trying to help. 💕
