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 had lumpectomy on 5 January followed by radiation which finished on 15 March.  A few weeks after radiation I started having awful pain & discomfort on right side which just got progressively worse so now getting physio again this week so just hoping that it will get easier, everything you say is what I am experiencing right now, still have burning pain etc  3.5 years is a long time to still have pain, hope it eases soon for you xx
