Surgery for cording.

I did not know there was surgery for cording. I did have cording after my mastectomy and radiation. I was fortunate to have therapy early and long with a remarkable person. Following lots of stretching and massage she used cupping on the stubborn strands. That seemed to break up the cords. After about a year of PT, my range of motion is close to normal. Believe me, I have worked hard and will be doing the proscribed exercises daily for the rest of my life. Good luck to you and your team to rid you of pain.

Thanks for your information. I have already gone through massage and laser treatment for an axilla cord and still have one of those left. So, actually, I have 4 cords. I am sick of traveling 25 minutes to be worked on. I believe that this is all the result of the doctor using my old, thin, Medicaid body, for training, that day in July, with a 3 week new general surgeon, removing my 4 sentinal nodes.
