Hi Lorraine
When you stretch your arm you can see like a 'cord??' that pulls tight - this is cording. One lady (from Cancer Support group) told me that these cords can snap (sounds very gruesome to me) and then everything is OK - till you get the next one. I have only had one, which seems to have disappeared with massage and stretching (I didnt feel anything snap - thank goodness).

Take care
Di :)
