Lymph Removal

Less than one minute read time.
Was wondering if anyone out there who had lymph nodes removed from under their arm had any minor pain after surgery, actually long after surgery. My surgery was May of 2008. The pain is not severe, just uncomfortable. Now, I have started back at the gym - maybe that's all it is. But I was just wondering if anyone else out there has or is experienceing the same thing? Please help!

    thank you polly.  It's been about 8 months since my mastectomy - and i really didn't do much of anything till now.  I started back at the gym and I guess that's why my pain started.  I'm just relieved to know that it is normal.  I will cut back a little and not push myself so hard.  I'm not the kind of person to sit around - and I was anxious to get back to my normal routine.  I guess I pushed it too hard.  Thank you so much for sharing...
