I got told I had thyroid cancer 3 weeks ago and within a week I was in having my thyroid removed. I've been out 2 weeks today and I still feel like my neck looks swelled and every now and then feels like my neck is getting pulled and as though some thing is touching the wound. I'm still really tender too. I know I have just had major surgery and it's bound to be tender still. I feel well in myself and not getting tired like I was and Im eating and swallowing fine but when will I feel normal again. Has anyone taken a while for the pulling feeling and slightly swelling to go.   Thank you
