Hello and thanks for your post
It can take several weeks for swelling and pain to settle down after breast surgery. The charity Breast Cancer Now have some useful tips to help manage the pain and other symptoms which you might find helpful to look at here.
If you still feel worried you can speak to your Breast Care Nurse who can advise you further.
I hope things settle down for you soon.
Kind regards,

Thank you I will look at the link you sent me and for your advice .
