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. ...
@Pookie I've had cording and my physio massaged it and showed me how. VERY painful but it's been effective. @Brenda5 I'm surprised to learn it can come back years later.
I'm constantly astonished on this forum to read how often people who've had private treatment have not been referred on to the essential follow-up treatments. - or even advised about them. In my public system, all that happened automatically - lymphedema education workshop and then regular physio appointments.
I know some ladies who have abandoned private treatment when they've had a recurrence and gone private and been very happy with it.
