Hi, I had a radical neck dissection in 2023 on my right side. I had to rehab my shoulder for about 3 months, but for me that was the easiest part of my recovery. Your care team should be able to recommend a PT person to help you with recovery. Best of Luck! You got this. Eric

Thank you, Eric, for your information, I really hadn't thought much about the shoulder and now I am seeing I should have. How long after surgery did you start your rehab? I live about two hours from the hospital I am having the surgery so would think they may arrange the rehab closer to home, although I would like to go the original hospital, it really isn't feasible.
Hope your recovery continues to go well and I appreciate your encouragement.
