It may be just scar tissue tightening, I get it from time to time and I am eight years past surgery! My lymphoedema therapist recommends stretching and that usually fixes it. The tightening of the scar tissue may well pull on some muscles, which describes what you are feeling. Stretching my arm backwards at right angles and then across my chest to the other side a few times (gently) helps release the tight feeling. Always wise to check and you have done that, but if stretching doesn’t help may be worth another chat with your surgeon. Best wishes.
