Cording help
I had a lumpectomy 5 weeks ago and only just realised that I have cording under my arm. It's painful to lift my arm above my head and I see a cord bulging out from under my arm that is sore to touch. ...
Hi @Pookie sorry to hear you have problems with cording post surgery. Your GP may be able to assist to refer you to a lymphoedema therapist to help manage the cording or the Australasian lymphology association also has a find a practitioner tool to locate a trained therapist in your area (link below). Do you have a breast care nurse you can contact for support and advice?
