Will Numbness Of Finger Tips And Shoulder Pain After Bilateral Mastectomy Heal?

I had a bilateral mastectomy on June 1st. Two sentinel nodes ere removed on the left side where I had the cancer. I had five nodes removed on the right side and I now have adhesions on the right side as well as numbness on that side especially my finger tips as well as shoulder pain. I am starting physical therapy on my right arm next week. Will it get better?

With physiotherapy and neuro vitamins it will get much better as long as there was no affection of the nerves during the operation.
