Yes cording does happen after lympnodes are removed. A lympdema therapist can help and give you instructions on how to do the massaging of the cording and scar tissue.

If you get it : I Highly recommend getting Weekly " Cranial Sacral" massage ( Google it, it's Very Healing Especially with This or anything Lymphedema related) After I discovered this technique it RELEASED A LOT ( Hurt like Heck πŸ€ͺ But the Release Amazing) !!!!!! So if this happens to you Cranial Sacral is a Game Changer πŸ’–πŸ’–

I agree with the massage. My therapist showed me how to do it and it releases the fluid buildup on my scarring. Keep up with it.
