Default post-op complications

Would like to know if anyone has experienced lymph leak complications after surgery that required re-exploration (mine was x 2) and have additional complications as a result
* neck and chest tightness when laying down even with being "propped up" and also with exertion.
* bad cough that is almost like chest is "paralysed and tight"
* strange facial sensation and numbness on operative side
*Horner's Syndrome- droopy eyelid, pupil that does not dilate like other eye, and no sweating on that side of face
* light headed, nausea.....very very fatigued
* strange sensation when moving fingers over surgical site.....as if something is disconnected, feeling senastion "above" the area where you fingers are moving below
* pain on operative side even though only being able to lay on non-operative side.....very "achey" especially when overdoing use during the day

I have been told by other Doctors that it is likely permanant nerve damage being that over 2 years have passed.....just wonder if anyone has had similar experience.

Thanks chloecasey
