Hmm. Sorry, apart from feeling that you have been messed around a bit, I can't shed any light on the cording. My lymphoedema was noticeable simply because of my wristwatch band. I suddenly realised one night it was tighter than it used to be. No pain, no discomfort. Do you have any fluid around the breast? They are apparently not necessarily associated although my therapist snorts quietly at that! The bra is another slight mystery to me, I wore the same wired bra post surgery (mastectomy) as I did before - was perfectly comfortable, didn't touch any scar and also my scar didn't hurt. There may be a bit of a professional "position" here. Perfectly sensible not to wear one if it's uncomfortable or potentially rubbing on skin that's already been damaged. Only changed when I finally got a prosthesis. I think it's reasonable to expect some action when something hurts! I hope that whatever the next procedure is, it works. My oncologist and surgeon talked to each other right through my treatment (still do) and my therapist picks up the phone to anyone she feels she needs to, quick as a flash. Has lulled me into a possibly false belief that everyone behaves like that! Best of luck, hope you get some clear answers and some relief.
