3 years after mastectomy +lymph glands removed am still very sensitive under arms when wearing bra, any help?

Try a bra that does not go so high under your arm, this is probably keeping it sore, while its still mending. My neighbour got a good one from marks and spencer they werre veryn helpful and helped her with a good fitting. she had the same and she is so brave as I expect you are. Carry on living and lovingXXx

My first question would be what happen first and then try to answer your question

I suspect the problem is not going to go away after this long. I assume at 3 years you are still in follow up. I would ask your consultant, via his secretary to put you in touch with one of the liaison nurses ( these may be called mastectomy nurses or breast cancer nurse). Your problem is not unique and there may well be a specialist medical supplier who has a bra which is specially suited for you.
