There are a lot of great ideas here! I would like to add one more. Because you have had a lymph node dissection, you do have a higher risk for local inflammation under your arm. I now get a sore inflamed lymph node under my arm every time I have a little allergy. I also get a little lymphedema pretty often.
Is this tenderness constant or does it come and go? Is there swelling? Final question, lol, does anything make it better?

The pain comes and goes and I haven’t noticed any swelling. The tenderness is always there.
