Cording elsewhere
I knew about cording occuring in your armpit and experieneced it where it was visible and felt tight to my wrist some days. I started stretching a lot more and was doing pool workouts and it was gone...

Hi Kath...'
I have only had lumpectomies as you know but I had bad cording in my arm all the way to my wrist in the beginning...it's only come good in the last month but every now and then I get twinges in the same spots.
I found a new cord running from the bottom of my scar on the side of my breast down to my rib....went to physio and she taught me a massage technique that will hopefully help with this one...she's never encountered cording in that spot before!
Under my arm is also lumpy and I have a "crater" from the axillary clearance with a large fleshy "lump' type thing near the top of my breast. The physio also massaged this and said it was all scar tissue...because it took so long for the physio to contact me after surgery ( i personally think they forgot about me, so i complained to my Onc and got a call within a few days!) the scar tissue really took hold....I've been taught massage and new exercises to do as my arms and shoulders have lost strength and have been trying to do them every day..
Go to your GP for your peace of mind, but I'm thinking and hoping it's scar tissue.....good luck and keep us updated!
