Cording/Mondors
Hi All. New here and hoping someone can see this and talk me off the ledge. I have been having pain in my ribs. At first I thought it was a broken rib again (had it 6 months ago post radiation for no reason). But the I saw the cord and now two cords from my breast to rib.
I am freaked out because my surgery was over a year ago now and wondering why I am getting cording so late in the game? Can this signify recurrence of some kind or can it be dangerous in any way?
Thanks!

Hi @izzy23p, I have never had to deal with cording but many SEs can show up a year or later after surgery/radiation. Cording is caused by scar tissue and inflammation, not a recurrence. Contact your surgeon or RO for a referral to a specialist physical therapist who can help since it gets worse if not treated. I hope you can get some relief.
