I have been suffering from fibrosis for years and finally found a facility with treatments: South Shore Pain Management in Chestnut Hill, MA. The doctor said,”we see many patients with this condition, and have several treatment options!”
I thought I was going to cry.
I have started with trigger point injections. It’s the easiest starting point if it works. I need to be patient and give it more time but some relief is evident. I advise that you find a pain management clinic experienced in post radiation neck fibrosis.

Hi Steve
I managed to locate a couple of clinics in Toronto that provides trigger point injections.
I don't have any pain, but do have problems with swallowing and with speech (slurry and not able to articulate) - is consultation with your oncologist or family doctor required prior to embarking on this treatment?
Thx!
