Need suggestions for instant relief from cording

Please help. Got some small cuts on my hand. Got lymphedema - wore my compression sleeve and glove and that improved.  But  now got cording which is the worst it has ever been - very painful, runs down to wrist.

I've been trying to raise my arm above my head to stretch it. Don't have strength to keep up massaging it myself. My Lymphedema specialist is on holidays. What else can I try? I really have had enough. Need something that will work quickly.

Thanks

  • Hi @Nadi

    Where is the cording.  I had it from under my arm down to my elbow. It felt like a guitar string.  Massage was the only thing that could relieve it while it repaired.  Thankfully after a few physio sessions it disappeared. Can you get in to see a physio?  Your GP might be able to help with that.  You would be eligable for the 5 free ones.  xoxo
