What Causes Tight Sensation And Swelling In The Neck After A Surgery?
had carotid artery surgery on both sides of neck. One in September 2016 and the other October 2016. Still having tightness on the sides and some swelling. Seem to get a run around with the doctors. Would you have an answer as to why, is this normal after 6 months? Also have slight swelling all around and feeling like a gob of something in throat.

Hi,
It is quite common after such procedures and will be due to postoperative inflammatory changes.
If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated. An ultrasound neck is required to rule out any possible hematoma.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
