@tduser2023 I am so sorry to hear of your pain and cording. Is your pain all over at same time or different areas? I never had heard of cording until this group.
I had a one sided mastectomy in 2019. During recovery I could not lay on my right side , surgery side, as rib area was painful only while laying on it. I thought it’s from surgery, kept trying and off and on it would be better. Fast forward 4 years and still have tenderness there. I believe it was causing spasms in my shoulder which was #7 level pain. It would come and go. I called them episodes. The spasms started getting more and more frequent, so I started seeing an acupuncturist. She said that there was scar tissue in that area from surgery. I see her regularly. The spasms are no more and all that is left is a deep sore spot - like a sore muscle. Acupuncture has worked for me but it take a long time. I’ve been 11 months.
Massage, cupping, anti inflammatory diet, (I’m not really strict but watch foods), epsom salt baths are the things I’m doing. Castrol Oil on a cloth, then heat applied on top is good for pain too.
Just some thoughts. Blessing to you and hope things improve for you.
