Lyn I do have pinching and pulling under the arm and around the chest wall. I only had 5 radiation treatments. Each person has a different number of nodes my surgeon told me. The doctor in Lymphedema clinic told me when a person has radiation under the arm the nodes that remain are damaged so I didn't feel bad when I lost as many as I did as they would be useless anyway. My thinking only. I do well managing the discomfort by wearing a sleeve daily, lift no heavy objects,( greater then a gallon of milk or 5 pounds) I try not do do repetitive motions with the arm however, I do like to knit and crochet but I do it in moderation and take lots of breaks. Hugs, Sandy
