Dede, sorry if I've misread your post but if you had lymph nodes removed this could be a seroma from this that needs to be aspirated by your surgeon. I had to have mine done twice after my surgery when the fluid built up before it settled down and it was very painful.
The aspiration itself is painless as the nerves will have been cut during surgery but the relief when they drain it is a wonderful feeling and all that pain and ache disappear.
