Hi rj372 - welcome to the forum. very sorry to hear about your wife. Regarding the pain I don't think exercise should be a problem. Due to surgery the whole body gets exhausted. Lets wait for Dr Sumeet and Rohit's help

Radiotherapy has no such effects. Do gentle exercises dont over do things.

This pain will settle spontaneously.

Nothing to worry about.

continue with u r Radiotherapy.

May take Paracetamol as and when needed.
