Cording
Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem. After my lumpectomy I developed cording in my armpit, going down past my elbow. I got physiotherapy for it, and it was as good as gone. I am doing my exercises every day. But now it's actually back again. The therapist signed me off last week, saying my range of movement is great. I told her then that it felt like the cording is coming back, but she just said to continue with exercises.
Has anyone else experienced that? I thought, or hoped, once it's gone its gone.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I am still doing my exercises every day too. I have full movement, but I feel the pulling pain in my arm and see the cording under my arm. I'll try your lifting exercise, thanks again
Hi there, my cording’s been an ongoing thing. It was really bad as I could barely lift my arm and struggled to extend my hand forward. I exercise everyday and massage it, well have my arm and armpit massaged. I stretch stretch and stretch some more. It’s the only thing that helps but I’ve been absolutely sticking to it everyday because if I don’t it gets worse. Now I have full movement. It helped a lot to stand with my arm straight and try to lift it with my fingers either turned up or down and repeat it about 20 times. Initially I did it about 10 a day. Now only doing it twice a day. Hope this will help you
