I am 4 years post surgery and I still get cording if I have an infection usually from a cut on my hand. I see a lymphatic specialist physio. The last two times I've had cords, Jan and Feb this year, I've also ended up in hospital with sepsis from an infection (dog bite and cut on hand). The February sepsis I was so unwell that had to be worked on in resus in the ER. Now I am much more careful regarding cuts on my hands - I treat them with betadine straight away and put my compression sleeve on immediately for 3 or 4 days. So, my advice would be see a specialist physio with experience in lymphoedema and/or cording, ask about a compression sleeve, and try to avoid any cuts or injury to your skin. Some women are more prone to cords than others. Good luck
