Will The Blood Clot Around My Muscles Occurred During Birth Cause Any Problems Later?

yes, I was injured at birth due to forceps being used to pull me out and when doing so the forceps caused a blood clot to wrap around all the muscles on the left side of my neck. When I was eight years old, (due to a 4 inch difference in the height of my shoulders, the doctors removed the blood clo, splicing eighteen muscles and severing the mastoid mustle. Now I am almost 67 years old and have never had any problems, but since I m hearing that my age will now play a part in the health, so is there anything that would cause me any problems later in life?

no , you would not have any problem in future also. so do not be worried about this.These muscles which were excised were not completely removed but part of them was removed and most part is left in your body so no normal function is affected.
