Exercises to Treat Cording After Breast Cancer Surgery

[@laquitabean300]

Good day. I just had my breast surgery September 3rd. I'm just starting to watch your video.

[@patienceabah7650]

Had mastectomy surgery with 12 lymph nodes removal 4th March. Recovering well with less pain but cording has not been smiling on me. It's hard, painful and discomforting. Thank God for coming across this, will definitely be trying these new exercise. Thank you!

Sorry to hear about the cording you’re dealing with. Make sure you with a physical therapist or occupational therapist who specializes in cancer rehab! They can help you further reduce the cording and improve your function!

@@oncopelvicpt The cords tend to be tight, making it difficult to lift arm. Exercises are very helpful.

Hello, had mastectomy almost a month ago. I have very tight feeling on my underarm as if I have a piece of wood on it. According to my surgeon, it's because there were nerves that were cut during the surgery that's why I feel those things. And there's a feeling of discomfort. I hope these exercise will help me treat this cording. I want also to ask if is it helpful to apply hot compress on the area that is very tight? Thank you.

Thanks 😊😊. It has some relief after the first exercise. But i have a question am a cabin crew should i stop working for a while until it resolves .it has been 2 years after my sugary.

[@oncopelvicpt]

Glad the exercises are helping! 😄 I cannot answer personal medical questions - please talk to your medical provider and work with an oncology PT or OT if it’s impacting your job.

[@patienceabah7650]

Hi, please can i start the exercise 3 weeks post surgery?

[@oncopelvicpt]

I can’t answer personal medical questions, but in general most people are able to start gentle exercises by 3 weeks. Check with your surgeon first!

Can I make this exercises if i made reconstruction With silicon implant în the same time

[@oncopelvicpt]

@@GabrielaIvan-j8m thanks for your question! Since everyone’s situation is different, I cannot answer personal medical questions - please check with your surgeon 🙂

[@chinweudogu3817]

Is treatment still possible after 10 years of surgery?

[@oncopelvicpt]

Hi! If there is limited range or function, it's possible to see some improvement, but the cording likely won't resolve if it's been 10 years.
