Hi @tduser2023, I'm sorry to hear that you are still dealing with pain related to cording. I moved your question to this discussion that @roch started a while back:
- Cording / Axillary Web Syndrome (AWS)
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/cording-axillary-web-syndrome-aws/
I did this so you can read previous posts and connect with others dealing with pain and cording. It is so exhausting to deal with persistent pain.

I recently developed cording. I noticed the issue a couple of weeks after the surgery but the nurse was not sure and said it would probably get better as the scars heal. It has not so I went to see an occupational therapist today and was told that it was cording. I will start OT treatment and see how it works. It is not pleasant to have cording to say the least.
