Thank you for this information. I had this issue after surgery which was quite painful. I showed it to my oncologist and nurses and none of them seemed to know what it was. I wish I had seen your video earlier so I would have known what to do about it. For now, stretching has resolved this.
Thank you greatly for your help and information on this process that's so painful sometimes difficult to find care. For self help. Appreciated! 💜👍🙏
It can be incredibly challenging, in many ways. I hope these videos help!
@@CancerRehabPT Thanks again for your help! 💜🙏
Hi Kelly, do you have experience on cording that appears on the a dot area instead?
I have one behind my knee and I have 2 behind my other knee.. it’s very painful when you massage it. But working on them.
Hi Kelly, can you please do a video on how to reduce stubborn lymphedema swelling in between knuckles? Thank you.
That’s a challenging area, for sure! Yes, I can add that to the list 🙂
So it's basically inflamed fibrotic tissue ?
It's so frustrating. There is exactly ONE lymphedema therapist at my hospital. She does only massage of the arm, nothing for the scar tissue or cording. It's been almost 2 months and there is very little change no matter what I try to do. She hasn't even measured me fir a sleeve yet. Very disappointed.
Ugh, I am sorry. access to care is very tough and there is absolutely a shortage of trained professionals within this field. It’s realy why I created this platform- to try and spread knowledge and support.
@@CancerRehabPT I totally appreciate all your helpful videos. Thank you!
That is one more than we have here - and my lovely insurance company said after 4 physical therapy visits that they would not support any more visits because they don't cover " massages just because it feels nice"
