Post surgery, pain
is it normal to not be able to sleep on the side that had surgery and radiation about a year ago? Feels like a big bruise that has been getting worse over the past year after treatment.

Welcome, @pmahon66, we're so sorry for the worries that led you to our site, but we are glad that you've found us. What you're describing may be a late-forming side effect from radiation and post-surgery. It is possible that the pain you're feeling may be from buildup of scar tissue and inflammation, which can occur several months beyond surgery and radation treatments. It's important to reach out to your medical care team, especially if you're noticing swelling, discoloration, or worsening pain. Your team may refer you to a physical therapist to help you regain mobility and relieve these symptoms.
