Cording/axillary web syndrome
Hi everyone, it's been a long time since my last post and so much seems to have happened in my life in that time. After having a lumpectomy and axillary lymph node removal on the right side, July 20...
HiJoleystub likewise I have had cording (mild compared to yours) initially under the armpit and then down the side of my ribs.
My surgery was 24 months ago.
The cording and range of movement improved after seeing a bc specialist physio but I still have sensitivity in that area. In addition to practicing the stretches I was given the physio also used a laser.
I do yoga and find that the stretching and twisting really helps.
I take Letrozole and I think my feet and ankles are more affected by this (they get stiff and especially at night feel achey.
Wishing you relief soon!!
Hi Tri I think the Letrozole makes the muscles at the top of my legs/hips tight and uncomfortable when I first stand up if I've been sitting too long, but they losen out almost immediately when I start walking, and no pain or discomfort once I get moving. My feet and ankles are totally fine. The range of side effects from person to person is bizarre.
