Physiotherapy for post thyroidectomy
Hello all,
I have got a friend who had a total thyroidectomy, the operation was successful and the tumours were not malignant.
Now, about a month after the operation she still finds it hard to swallow and still suffers from pain while raising the head to full extension.
I understand that first the SCM and platysma muscles should be assessed.
Can anyone share some experience he\she had with a patient with similar condition?
Thanks.
Bear
