Neck lift, 1 year post op - infection leading to nerve damage causing pain. Will this heal and what are my options?
September 21, 2022
Asked By:Alirach in Washington, District of Columbia
I had a neck list last year, had an infection the night I came home, called my dr. who dismisses my pain. I called his office three times in the following weeks but was dismissed by his office staff. The pain was unbearable and I landed in the hospital for a week on pain meds. A year later I am still in terrible pain, can’t feel the left side of my face and feel like I’m being choked all the time. Is there any dr who has seen this And can tell me there is hope that I will heal.
