[QUOTE=moneymaker8;116891]Hello Everyone,

I'm now 8 days after surgery boy am I sore! I wanted to ask those of you who have had this surgery a question. The tendon that runs from infront of my ear down my neck to the incision area seems very swollen more so than when I left the hospital seems very tightand hard and sore sore sore, did anyone have this? Oh my gosh I am also very numb across my chest no feeling also arm numb feeling and pain at tips of fingers. Just wondering how long recovery takes I mean should I be up and dancing yet?

Let me know !

I had surgery on 2/9/12 and went to church and was able to raise my right arem straight up during praise and worship. I had the left side done on 2/20/12 and while I am al ittle sore it really is not too bad. My left seems to be taking al little longer than the right but Dr. Avraam Karas did my surgery and he is without a doubt the best doctor I have ever been to. He was absolutely awesome with me.
