@Veganchrissy - I’m sorry your symptoms aren’t going away very quickly, You can continue with ice for a bit longer & gentle finger tip massage along the incision using Bio Oil, vitamin E oil, coconut oil or the like to prevent friction can be helpful. You can do this several times/day.
There’s also info on YouTube & our forum about soft tissue/myofascial massage to help reduce scar tissue.
It can take 3+ months post op to begin noticing improvement from vascular symptoms & many of our members who have bilateral compression didn’t get good overall symptoms resolution until they had their second IJV decompressed. Recovery does take time, patience & a positive mindset is also very helpful.
