Is this cording?
Hi everyone - I have 5 taxols to go but I don’t think this is chemo related. When I straighten my lymph-nodeless arm, it’s sore around the inside of my elbow and just below there. It feels very tight. Like there’s an elastic band in there that’s being pulled too tight. I’ve felt this before but only intermittently. Now it’s there every time I straighten my arm. Does this sound like cording? And if it is, what can i do about it? Thanks! Xx
Strange arm, one year on.
I don’t know if this is something to be concerned about, but I’ll put it out there. I have had a successful lumpectomy a year ago, a month of radiation, and good health since. Last week my upper arm on the affected side began to feel tender to touch. It was almost a burning sensation when I brushed my hand across the skin. In the past few days it returns when I stretch my arm or push up into my armpit. I had some sentinel nodes taken at the time of the surgery but none from in my armpit. I was told my arm would no be affected. I know there are lymph vessels in that region. Could it be related to the surgery, cancer, or sentinel nodes?
Walking After Surgery ...
Hello Ladies, I have a question, I have a flight of 15 stairs, quite steep at home to get up and down, once home from hospital (part mastectomy sentinel node biopsy) do you think I should be ok to make it up and down or may take a while to do so ? I understand everyone is different, just wondering as my kitchen is upstairs and loungeroom/bedroom downstairs ... Getting closer now and silly questions are popping into my head ...
