Stiffness under arm after lumpectomy

Hi @Erika888, you've had some great advice already and I agree with it. I am 5 weeks post lumpectomy surgery this week and just starting chemo. I also had 3 nodes removed under my arm and the subsequent numbness and cording as a result due to how deep the surgeon had to cut them out. I have a specialist physiotherapist who helps me with the cording and massing my arm, giving me exercises. I have found that I have been progressively able to do a bit more as time goes on. I still have numb patches and am expecting that to take time. Give your body the time it needs, it is still early days.
