Sorry Lynelle about half message. Still trying to get use to this new format and I can't find how to edit, and I sent it accidently. I too think your pain could be nerve pain, or even referred pain. The node removal is really painful, and if you have been able to lift your arm, you have been doing well. I do remember how the tip of my drain sat on a nerve and how painful that was. Your Dr appointment tomorrow should shed some light on it. Just rest it till you see your Dr, and it might even be gone by then.
