It has only been 10 days since my surgery on my left carotid. When I woke from my surgery in was in great pain with my left inner ear. I've had headaches everyday, neck is numb from the incision to the right side of my neck. I'm still having inner ear pain and headaches. I am now also having sharp pain in my left jaw and a knot below the left jaw. I also having pain in my throat and around my adam's apple. I'm started having trouble swallowing. My doctor did put my on a steroids pack when I left the hospital. My voice is also changing. I went to see my surgeon on day 6. He told me that he didn't see a knot, and that everything looked good. Now on day 10 and I haven't seen any improvement.View Thread
