Hello -question about auxiliary clearance

Hi Lucy, I had axillary clearance and bilateral mastectomy 4 weeks ago. I have had a lot of pain swelling and have had very limited range of motion in my arm. I got referred to a Lymphoedema specialist, I don’t have lymphadema but have pretty bad cording from my underarm to wrist. The pain has slowly travelled from a burning sensation if the back of my arm got touched. Then a few days later it hurt at my elbow joint and then at my wrist. I still can’t lift my arm high enough to shave under my arm. The Lymphoedema specialist is doing weekly low level laser and massage and I am seeing improvement in range of motion and pain. I have done all of the exercises as directed by the hospital and the specialist has added a few more. It might be worth getting a physio to check if you have some cording also. It took 2 weeks to get my results back, hope you get positive results very soon. Olivia
