Donna Killinger from South Fork, PA. Donna was born in 1964, underwent laryngectomy surgery in 2024 and uses a TEP prosthesis to speak. Donna noted the following in the application submission: I am looking to connect with others who have had total laryngectomy to ask questions I have as to how long to expect neck tightness to continue. I am doing physical therapy and MLD 3x week for 2 plus months now but can’t get any relief from neck tightness that is unbearable. Also, I am experiencing severe leg pain from the removal of muscle to reconstruct my throat after the procedure. I am trying everything I know to help with these issues but can’t get any relief. Has anyone ever done Botox or acupuncture to help, as I am waiting to hear from these doctors to see if this is an option to help. I did have 28 lymph nodes removed during the surgery 12 on one side and 16 on the other, not sure if this is part of the continuing extreme tightness in the neck. Just looking to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar to my issues and what can I do to get some relief. donnakillinger6390@gmail.com
