I had, and still have, (after not having this for a year, or so), also this burning under my right arm, and which is where I had my surgery.
Supposedly, burning is a sign of nerve damage or at least a neurological thing.
(I don't know if this is always true, though)
These days, I especially have this when there is the slightest bit of perspiration and what somewhat helps is when I use a powder that has a combination of cornstarch and zinc oxide in it.
If this continues, they also sometimes prescribe something like neurontin for pain.. I have never taken this but it was suggested, or 'kept in mind as a possibility'.
It also really helped me to have physical therapy and perhas this burning has come back because I have not gone in a few months, but have an appointment scheduled soon.
For whatever it's worth, these are my two cents.
hope this will improve soon, Katrin
Sorry... Thought I read Parafon forte... Ponstan forte is an anti-inflammatory drug for pain & swelling!
Best wishes!
I've known several women who've had lymph node removal and had pain afterwards. You are a week out from surgery so give yourself some time. Parafon Forte is an excellent pain medication but be careful not to take it if you're going to drive!
For the exercise, stand opposite a wall, put your fingertips on the wall and let them walk up the wall and then down, and then up the wall, and then down the wall. That does help. If you still have tremendous pain a few months out, seek help. Best wishes.
