Vložit

- Axillary Web Syndrome, or Cording, is a common condition and side effect of surgery for breast cancer, melanoma, or other cancers that involve lymph node removal in the armpit region. Cords can cause pain and restrict one’s shoulder motion and function. Although many cords go away on their own, these are 5 ways physical therapy assists in getting rid of cording or axillary web syndrome.

You are helping me heal myself. I am a month out of surgery and the cording came after they removed the drain. Very tight.
Just had my mastectomy April 25. I can feel the tightness in my armpit😢
You are doing a great job. Your all ideas and skills are amazing and unique just like you. Weldone 👍.You are a very sweet very special very talented very beautiful God's given wonderful woman. You are the bestst among all the best May God bless you with the best, Stay blessed 😊
Thank you so much! I have cording 6 years after surgery. I did have PT but never heard about these nerve release exercises.
I hope they are helpful! My team uses them with almost everyone 🙂
Mam i have a question,i have cold cough and sore throat (though sore throat almost gone). After one week i m on antibiotics but since my cold stuffs started, i have noticed swollen lymph node on my neck(under jaw), i m a bit worried as it didn't go away still. My sore throat has improved after antibiotics but my cold and cough are still here. So should i try some exercise? My lymph node isn't painful
Can sleeping position cause or worsen cording? I noticed that when i slept on the side of mastectomy (done 3mos ago) thats when cording towards chest area appeared.
How long does cording last?
I got random cording in my left arm about 4 years ago, was just diagnosed with breast cancer on the same side this year. I just stretched them until they snapped
Thank you for responding. I’m sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Did they think the cording was related? That is a bit worrisome. I hope you are doing well.
@@maddie-ld9cn they didn’t say but I feel like it is
@@scgraves98 I hope your treatments are going well. Did you find it or was it through imaging?

My PT says his job is just to make sure my legs work. He doesn't know why the doctor ordered PT for breast cancer surgery.
🤔 ugh. There are PT’s out there who CAN help
Ask for a different pt now!!!
Has anyone out there developed spontaneous cording without prior surgery.? I am dealing with that right now, also with spontaneous onset of lymphedema. Thoughts? Everyone I’ve seen here is confused as to what is going on (negative work up.)
Lots people get lymphoedema without surgery. Many people have primary lymphoedema that doesn't show up until later in life.Treatments still the same no matter what type of lymphoedema,or cording.Hope you can find the right physio/PT to work with you.
look for a PT that offers integrative modalities eg. traditional or electro acupuncture, biofeedback, hot and cold laser, massage, as well as exercise - I have found the merging of traditional and eastern techniques quite beneficial
I did a few years ago, and was just diagnosed with breast cancer on the same side
@@crispykmm9646 thank you for taking the time!
