Lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy

I was diagnosed with invasive ductal cancer grade 3 on 25th may 2023, I had lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy on 21st April. Two weeks later I have really bad pain which feels like I have been burnt down my breast and the top part of my arm, I have been told it is the nerves mending. I also have cording in that arm too. I have been doing my exercises regularly is there anything else I can do to ease the pain, paracetamol and ibuprofen aren't touching it. I have to wait another 4 weeks for my results so i cant speak with my consultant till then. Grateful for any help.

    Maybe try co codamol they maybe a bit stronger for you for a few days . I had lunpectomy and sentil node 2 weeks later had full node clearance removing 30 nodes .
