I have lymph nodes draining causing turkey neck under chin. I've seen a massage therapist who is showing me how to help it drain.
Does anyone have any other ways to get this fixed?

I experienced lymphedema after radiation for SCC on the base of the tongue and a few lymph nodes. I was able to procure a pneumatic device called Flexitouch Plus. It worked almost immediately and I used it daily for 32 minutes for 18 months. It was quite expensive, but was not covered by Medicare, but paid in full by my secondary insurance.

It must be prescribed by your care team. Good luck!
