I had bilateral neck lymphadenopathy for thyroid cancer in October 2025 After, my neck was swollen from ear to ear, numb, tingling, filled with edema. This began to dissipate about 2-3 months after surgery and was manageable I had radiation therapy a week ago and now my face is again swollen and numb from ear to ear. My neck, especially under my chin is terribly swollen. Has anyone had this same experience and what did you do to alleviate it? Please help. I am so sad, angry and distraught

@kathleenmkastrup
I have lymphedema under my jaw too.
I do self-massage online specifically for Head & Neck.
Also, I goto a RMT for Head & Neck as well.
Drink plenty of water.
Even take up swimming which I love to do.
