Hi all, 

        I had LHS tonsil & lymph nodes in my LHS neck, I finished treatment in November 2017 but I’m now suffering badly with cramps in my neck which cause me severe pain that is enough to bring me to my knees, does anybody else suffer with this and is there a medical name for it ?

thanks Greg

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat community Greg although I'm sorry about the cramps and pain you've been having recently.

    Hopefully some of our members who have experienced similar will get back to you soon but if you'd like to have a chat with one of our cancer nurses about this then you give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Do be sure to let your doctor know about this as well Greg as they may be able to provide something to combat the pain.

    I hope you're able to get some answers and things starts to improve soon.

    All the best,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
