Can anyone help with post mastectomy pain syndrome?

The first thing i would ask is if you have seen your medical team to share these concerns? I had a dbl and 3 sentinel nodes removed, and I ended up with a trigger finger and a frozen shoulder. Mine resolved with exercise and visits with an occupational therapist. I was tight and un stretched. Have you gone to an occupational or physical therapist. Whatever the age, pain is pain. Pain at 77 is tough.

Thank you for some empathy.
Yes, I have had therapy, acupuncture, Botox shots help a bit, 4 times a year. I exercise daily, walk and do silver sneakers.
My team says keep up with the Botox and I have had so much surgery and radiation that this is to be expected. Forgot to say that I had to have a flap type surgery to get radiation the second time, they had to cut my latisimus dorsi. The surgeon said it all looks fine 2 years later.
