hi there, I have had cording happen twice now, seems to co-incide with the start of chemo for me.
In Adelaide we have a specialist lymphodema clinic, who treat cording with laser therapy. from my research it can take 6-8 weeks to reduce normally, and the laser treatment seems to speed that up for me to 4 weeks before it disappears. I tried this because my elbow gets so tight that i can no longer straighten it, so makes it difficult to carry heavy items or use your arm normally and it can be stabbling like pain - ouch.
A note - not all physio's are aware of this issue of cording also technically named AWS Axillia Web Syndrome
