Hi Dette
I had the most terrble arm problems after my mastectomy and 12 nodes removed nearly a year ago. Initailly no-one could even touch the arm it was so sore and sensitive but now it's fine have the odd strange sensation but nothing like I started with . I did my exercises religiously, moisturised my arm a lot and also massaged it 2 - 3 times a day. Just before I went back to work I found a great remedial massage lady who does lymphatic drainage of my arm and chest for me now monthly and have found that really helpful. I took up dragon boat paddling about a month ago and that has made a big difference to my arm movement so time does play a big factor in full recovery.
Have patience and good luck!
