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

    I too had a lumpectomy and lymph nodes removed just over 2 years ago. I did all the exercises and still do and even changed my job to a manual job to help strengthen and use my arm more which helped to start with however it seems worse at the moment than when I had the surgery. I was going to the gym and using machines which definitely helped however obviously closed at the moment due to COVID-19.
