a day agoHas anyone elbow hurt from time to time on the side where you had lymphectomy surgery? Mine started about two months after radiation ended.

18 hours agoMany people in the breast cancer community do experience arm and elbow discomfort following lymph node surgery and radiation treatment, so this concern is quite common. It would be helpful to mention this to your medical team, as they can assess whether it's related to your treatment and suggest appropriate ways to manage any discomfort you're experiencing.
