How long should I expect pain in armpit after removal of lymph nodes?

I would definitely go for PT.
The pain in my armpit and at sentinel node did not go away for about 9 months until I went for Breast lymphedema PT.
The PT was able to work on these areas and the pain is now gone.
I also had a loss of arm raising to full stretch which she is having me work on also. This is either from the radiation or sentinel node difficulty.

Thankfully, the pain has gone away (at 8 weeks post-op) and with the chest stretching exercises the surgeon gave me to do twice a day starting day 3 of post-op from my mastectomy, I now have full range of motion!!
