Post Surgery

I have just had a lumpectomy  along with full auxiliary lymph node clearence.  As expected some pain and discomfort but yesterday I started the day 8 exercises and struggled.  My armpit area is  swollen, painful and warm.  I managed 3 lots of exercises but couldn't do final two as in so much discomfort. Day 9 should I push myself to complete exercises? Is it normal for it to be this bad after a week, am I expecting to much? Breast fine just the odd twinge.  Scars clean and healing well. Any advice please I can't believe the jump from week one exercises to the week two which are hardcore and I can't achieve the positions on the diagrams. Thank you
