Affects after mastectomy. What's normal?

Cording, which is scar tissue in a band can seriously impact on movement and comfort. Also hypersensitivity with nerve regeneration can cause pain along under arm and side of affected breast from node removal. I needed lyrica for a very short time for the nerve pain and on the physios recommendation regularly stroked those sensitive areas to decrease its sensitivity and it worked and quickly off the lyrica. The cording was also causing lymph drainage issues under arm and breast area. So i had laser done by my lymphodema physio. ..3 sessions and suddenly I had normal movement and no pain. I was also tight at elbow and wrist. My prophylactic mastectomy with recon on other side had none of these issues as didn't have to touch the nodes.

I'd be speaking to bc nurse or local hospital about lymphodema physio.
