After pains from lymph node removal

Hi. I've had my lymph nodes removed at same time and lumpectomy. 3 and half years ago. Still have lots of nerve pain. Arm feels like it's in a vice at times. Tendons feel stretched beyond their limits. Often tight dwellings under arm. Is this natural after surgery. I know it takes time but ..... tx

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat forum Catlady although I'm sorry you're still experiencing a lot of pain since your surgery 3 years ago. It must be very frustrating.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had this procedure will share their advice and experiences with you soon but as it's worrying you maybe you could try booking an appointment to talk things through with your GP? Our cancer nurses are also available for a chat on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. 

    Kind regards,
