well morning is here,potty thing resolved itself,arms still have pain and that spine bone pain is still there,I am wondering if its because of this new collar??? have noticed I do not have the support as that icky old one had,the man that fitted me for this "Miami" one said the first one (Phili******a)was to big for me,well maybe I am stressing the muscles now?????as far as the swallowing thing , I see someone posted (sorry can not think of name)that yawning caused some problems like that for them,I guess its like a muscle spasm,thankgoodness I see NS tomorrow,gonna try to pin him to wall for anserws....lol
