Severe Underarm pain - post surgery

My best friend recently had surgery due to a secondry and whilst in hospital had drips/blood pressure in arm and since developed severe underarm pain.
The Drs are busy planning treatment and she is left in severe pain as well as mobility problems (see other forum)going out of her mind with worry whilst trying so hard to be strong and positive.
Could this pain be due to needles etc and if so, what has happened and what can she do? Did it happen to you if so what happened next and did it have to wait until after the main event?
I have had surgery and ended up with cording follwed by lymphodeama but this seems different to my symptoms.
Just another thing to worry about!
