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?
