(Stiff) neck aches after operation

[Guest guest]

Hello to all,

I've just had my first c-toma removal operation last Friday, and the doctor

wasn't very

happy because he found alot of c-toma.

I don't have vertigo though, and my hearing seems to be ok (before he put the

last ear

packaging). The surgeon did have to cut my taste nerve, so have to cope with

that new

feeling...

The only thing that is really worrying me is the stiff neck and big aches I'm

getting on the

operated side of the neck. It goes from under the ear, along the side of the

neck, to the

upper back. They said it could be due to the fact they drilled into my mastoid

bone, and

that this bone is where an important neck muscle starts...

Has anyone experienced the same strong neck aches after a c-toma revmoval

operation?

I would very much appreciate to hear your experiences.

Thank you,

Cris
