What You Need to Know About Cording After Breast Cancer Surgery

Axillary web syndrome, also known as cording, is a common condition that can develop among people who have undergone breast cancer surgery when lymph nodes in the axilla (underarm) region are removed. Axillary web syndrome manifests as visible and palpable cord-like structures or bands that can extend from the armpit down the arm. These cords are often painful and can limit the range of motion in the arm and shoulder, causing discomfort and reduced flexibility.
But what exactly is cording, and how can you manage it effectively? I'm here to answer those questions in this first part of my two-part series.
