How to treat neck stiffness after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma?

The neck is a little stiff after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. This situation should be caused by radiotherapy, so we must pay attention to a regular life. We can do some neck massage or appropriate exercises every day, go to the hospital for examination, and then use appropriate medications.

After radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, more exercise is necessary, especially neck and mouth relaxation exercises. These two exercises can effectively prevent patients from neck stiffness and prevent the occurrence of muscle fibrosis. The hardening of the neck skin after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is actually a side effect caused by radiotherapy.

What are the symptoms of nasopharyngeal carcinoma bone metastasis?

There is no good way to treat bone metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Only palliative surgery can be performed to relieve the patient's normal ventilation function. The patient should pay attention to rest, avoid heavy physical activities, and prevent fractures at the site of bone metastasis.

Bone metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is the most common metastasis of blood type metastasis. When nasopharyngeal carcinoma has bone metastasis, we divide it into single-foci metastasis and multiple bone metastasis. The sites where nasopharyngeal carcinoma often metastasize to the bone are often heavy parts such as the spine, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, and pelvis. So the pelvis is a single or multiple metastasis.

Radiotherapy can be considered for the metastatic site, or combined with intravenous administration of drugs that inhibit bone destruction, which can also relieve symptoms.
