Thank you for your kind words! Always happy to help and empower in every way possible 🙏🏼☺️

Thank you for your question. Once the incision fully heals and closes, scar tissue massage can be initiated. I typically start with gentle scar tissue massage first and then increase the pressure as the tissue heals more and becomes more pale.

Thank you for your comment! I would highly recommend seeing a therapist who has experience treating cording if these exercises alone are not enough

Although it is not common, it can happen! Cording primarily occurs after axillary lymph node dissection. However, it can also develop after shoulder and axillary injuries or infections.

@@BerfinMahmut thank you! 🙏 I will have to rule out infection because I haven't had any injuries.

Hello, thank you for your kind words! I appreciate your feedback and am so delighted to hear you found the videos helpful :)

You can see the doctor who is treating you for the condition that caused the cording or your primary care doctor. They can refer you to a physical or occupational therapist. When looking for a physical or occupational therapist it is important to ask if they have experience treating cording.

@@BerfinMahmut I have not seen any doctor yet, it just appeared for no reason that I am aware of. Should I talk to an endocrinologist?

​@@santialurI am a male and mine appeared after a heavy lifting session (bench press and pull ups). Overexcertion if you will. Has your chording gone away?

@@Fakken28 yes, but it took around 2 weeks, and help of massages and PT exercises

@@santialur Did your cords completely go away too or just the pain? any specific massages you did and PT or did you just follow this video? Thank you for replying and I'm glad you are doing better brother. 🙏. Mine started to weeks ago and getting better little by little.

Thank you for you comment! Lymphatic drainage is generally safe even for patients with active cancer and/or metastasis but I have had some patients whose doctors advised holding off drainage. Therefore, I would recommend consulting your healthcare team first. Also, I offer free 15 minute consultations. If you are interested, feel free to contact me via email.

@@BerfinMahmut I will ask my team next week! Thank you! :)

Hi thank you for your reply and so glad it was helpful! I’m actually filming one for the feet which should be up within the next few weeks! Stay tuned :)

Sleeves can be purchased from surgical stores. You can also reach out to the brands’ regional reps if you know which brand you want or you can order from a website such as lymphedema products or bandage plus. I hope this helps; let me know if you have any other questions!

@@BerfinMahmut thanks so much

Thank you!

It depends on the location of the swelling! The tape should definitely cover the swollen area. The strips can end either where the swelling ends or go past it about an inch or so; the goal is to cover as much surface area as we can. I typically “anchor” the end right below the elbow. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Hello, thank you for your questions! It does not matter; however, donning on and off will be easier if you have the glove over the sleeve since we put on the sleeve first and then the glove/gauntlet. I hope this helps!

Hello, thank you for your question! Often times cording still can be present even if the pain/discomfort goes away. We typically do not worry about the “lines” as long as patients can function and do all their daily activities without pain/discomfort. I hope this helps!

Can you get lymphedema from the cording? I developed both without any surgery or pre existing conditions.

Coming soon!

Hello and thank you for your question! My next video will be leg and feet exercises for chemo induced neuropathy. I will also talk about different ways to manage symptoms in feet. Stay tuned :)

Thank you so much
