My mother sufered from cancer 6years ago and since they removed a lot of lymph nodes she had been sufferring from pain in her arm so what's the solution?

Pt and meds: That can be a challenging problem. Sometimes massage therapy and evaluation for lymphedema can be useful. Occasionally pain meds or anti inflammatory meds can help.
