Is this normal?

I had a single side mx end of November. My chest felt tight for the first three weeks and now it has good and bad days. Under and down my arm is also tight due to anx clearance but I am able to lift my arm a little higher each day. I did not have any infections post surgery so mine was straight forward. All of our bodies respond differently to surgery and the community nurses have seen a lot so just let them advise you. My BC nurse told me I was being silly because I was concerned about a little bit of swelling! Needless to say, I don’t go to her with my concerns anymore. The district nurses on the other hand were fabulous.
