Shoulder and arm after mastectomy

I had a single mastectomy and 22 lymph nodes removed in February 2023 after triple negative breast cancer in situ carcinoma grade 3 stage 2b. I had a little bit of cancer in 1 node.

I was given the all clear in June after finishing 16 days of preventative radiotherapy. 

anyway I had pain in chest and arm which resolved after a few weeks but my arm and shoulder has been consistently painful and my shoulder is especially achey and sometimes i have no movement in it.. can I use heat or cold in it ? 

im petrified of the cancer coming back..

    I really understand when you say ghost I was like that on diagnosis but slowly it seems to have subsided,I had a lunpectomy xxx then 2 nd operation removing all the nodes 26 in total xx but one year on you may feel better I’m a lot further than you in time I honestly feel normal. Le it takes time but you will get there I promise xx
