Oh my gosh!! Thank you so much. Now I know what’s going on with my arm. I had a double mastectomy 2 weeks ago. After I was released from the hospital it appeared out of no where. God Bless you!!

Thank you for being here for us. You have been reassuring.

Wow! Great explanation for what she is dealing with right now. She's nearly 3 weeks out from the lumpectomy and node removal and is now experiencing this cording effect. As usual, I go right to You Tube for some expert advice and I was not disappointed. Thank you so much for a wonderful and insigthful explanation for this condition!

Really well delivered video and great content. My other half feels less anxious after watching it so thank you.

Thank you so much! This appeared out of nowhere and i was really worried. It doesnt hurt as much as limited my arm movement, will hope it goes away soon

Thank you so much for this video. I thought that I had caused my cording because I didn’t do the at home PT and was really beating myself up over it. The cord In my forearm has finally released but still working on the one in my bicep and armpit. PT is painful but so worth it. Thank you again.

Thank you for this video

Thank you.

Really helpful, thank you!

Thank you for this information, I haven't had any lymph nodes removed but it is painful so I will see a professional asap.

Thank you👏

I loved the explanations in this video. I get very queasy feeling my own cord in my armpit because it is so tight, so I had to look away when they were pressing on the woman's cord, lol. I'm a month post-surgery and have been doing finger wall walking exercises and some stretches , so I may need a PT since there is still pain and stiffness.

I had cording after bilateral mastectomy and lymph node removal. It was painful and I didn’t understand it. I thought I did “too much too fast” after surgery. Thank you for the explanation. 💚🌷

Thank you for showing cording in the area under the breast surgery. I had this and my breast surgeon didn’t know what it was! It was tender and I was frightened because it ran across the area of my liver. Surgeons need to be educated about this! I was terrified that I might have some liver mets because of the tenderness in that area and had an unnecessary CT scan.

Thank you for this informational video. I have developed post-surgical cording and it's had me concerned. I had a shoulder repair (bicep tenodesis) last February and I went hard at my physical therapy, even impressing my therapist with my range of motion and how quickly I regained it. I was determined not to end up with a frozen shoulder! Then on January 7th of this year I had a 2nd lumpectomy with sentinel node removal and all of a sudden my arm won't move and twist like it should, I can't reach up as far as I could before surgery, and I have this thick, sensitive, painful rope under my skin that runs from my axilla to my elbow. I appreciate you saying it's not my fault and that I didn't cause it by "not doing enough" because I did the exercises I was told to do, but that cord is still so tight and even rotating my wrist from thumb inward to thumb outward hurts like crazy. Thanks for explaining it. I'm off to watch some physical therapy videos on how to break up cording. I'm afraid the longer I wait the harder it will be to break up. I read about using heat to loosen it up, like I would with my shoulder PT, but that could cause more lymph swelling so I'm a little afraid of it and have been doing it without heat thus far. Hmm. Thanks again for the info!

But i have never had a surgery but going through it.what is the reason .pls tell

Hi Doctor, will the coding will spread to stomach area? I have under armpit after surgery, but recently I feel it at the left side of my stomach. I have left breast surgery 9 months ago.

im a 50 yr old man, i lost both of my legs at the age of 9 months old. on right I'm a hip disarticulation and on left a knee disarticulation. all the grafting has contractured and so have abdomen muscles. the worst is on back side of stump. the long tendon has cording scar covering all of it. so I feel like I'm tearing open in spots. 4 yrs ago had skin grafting to see if it helped. it made everything worse. i cant find info on cording in a amputated stump. can u help with some info? I'm miserable.....

What a great video. So I have cording, I have not had any surgeries near that area. Should I be concerned?

thank you for this video! one of my nodes (sentilal) was removed 3 weeks ago but after 2 weeks the cord has appeared in my armpit. Today I had a review visit with the breast surgeon and she simply pressed the cord which "popped" she refered to it as a brocken cord... there is a small relese but i am not sure where the lymph will now go if the lymphatic cord has been brocken...

Thank you so much for this video. I am 4wks post breast, arm and armpit lift following a 115lb weight loss (natural, not surgical). I have developed cording under one arm but my range of motion is still limited in both arms post-op and the cording armpit is still slightly irritated on the incision line. When would be safe to commence cording treatment?

I have this and i have never undergone any breast or lymph node surgeries and it a cord with small lump on it . Please help. How i got it and what is it. Please reply.

What if u have it and have had no cancer surgery?? What else can cause it?

What about when you haven’t had surgery and this came out of no where. What causes it

Wife has them under the breast, we figure "mondor syndrome". The internet mostly describes the breast ones (as pictured in this) as corded veins, not lymph. No surgery or reason it came up. Thoughts?

Hi , i am a male i didn’t do any surgery and i have cording From time to time . Last time i had it was 8 or 9 years ago and it was bad ,i could not move my arm and this is the second time but i am stretching my arm and it help . You have any idea why a male without surgery would have it ? Tnx

I have it and i never have. Surgery am CNA can lifting Cause it

I got this but never had any lymph surgery, Chemo or radiation! It went from my forearm to my armpit and I’m still trying to break up the ones in my forearm and it’s incredibly painful!

Thank you so much I was looking for this. Thank you so much I was looking for this🥰🥰🥰. After my one breast mastectomy within 2 weeks I found this cording n not being able to stretch my arm😰🥺😭😭😭

I have cording, I am a man and have never had surgery, please help me out

I have this but I’ve only had a breast enhancement surgery 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m not understanding why I’m only finding information about after having breast cancer surgery. I don’t have breast cancer, nor have I had surgery or any kind of lymph node removals, yet I have this.

Can this happen after hysterectomy

What about a guy who works out it just appeared?

well no duh !
