Cording
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me does cording eventually disappear with just excercises? I have cording down to my elbow for last few months, lately it's horribly tight again despite doing excerci...
Hi Flutterby
I had cording following my mastectomy and was sent to a physio. This was not fantastic as she managed to 'crack' one but the others were not to good - at the huge cost each time I could not afford to go regularly.
I then found a masseur (at less than 1/2 the cost) who is trained in lymphodema etc and she works wonders, often using the Chinese 'cupping' to assist if I am bad. I find once every three weeks keeps both pretty well under control, unless of course I do things like wood splitting and vacuuming etc which means I may need to go more often.
One happy thought is that if there is time to spare I get a pleasurable massage as well !
Hope this helps - anything which prevents more surgery is a good thing !
Good luck
Summer :-)
