@speseas Me too. I have the same problem. My neck feels like I have a bungee chord attached from my skull to my top rib. I have hard places in there as well. Mobility is a big problem. Did you have radiation? I think mine is radiation fibrosis. I'm currently going to a great PT who is doing great work on my neck. He believes he can make it much better. Hopefully he's right? I know he works it very well. He said red light hasn't been proven to work and the cost of those machines are so expensive that most PT locations don't have them.

@harleytiger this company provides compression devices to use at home for lymphedema. They have found in addition to reducing swelling, Flexitouch is clinically shown to soften fibrotic tissue—a common complication in head and neck cancer survivors—with 97% of patients reporting softer tissue after use.
