I had my lumpectomy and 3 sentinel nodes removed 3 weeks ago. the area under my arm is extremely sore and sometimes the muscles ball up like I have golf ball there. I have been massaging like I was shown and started my exercises. How long is the healing process and does anyone have any ideas for the pain? I also this this week have been having extreme fatique the last 4 days and depression.
