Sorry to hear you are in pain. I had pain from the axillary clearance too and was surprised to get this as the nurses hadn’t prepared but now understand it’s fairly common. The pain does subside but I still have extreme tightness and cording after 2 months which is limiting my range of motion. One of the nurses I spoke to said the doctors do ‘rummage around’ during surgery and nerves are bruised or damaged. I would recommend the exercises and gentle stretches to help that they give to you and if you mention it to the nurse tomorrow you should be referred to physio.
