Axillary Cording

Axillary Cording

I am currently doing PT for axillary cording after a mastectomy of my right breast (9/19/07).
Will the axillary cording present any problems with future breast reconstruction I will be having
in the following months.

Hi,

Axillary web syndrome was previously known as 'axillary cording'. AWS is self-limiting, resolving in all cases within 2 to 3 months without long-term sequelae. PT helps resolve the symptoms faster in some patients. There is some limitation in the range of movements in some patients rarely. Other than that you should not have any problems with the breast reconstruction surgery you are planning to undergo in the future.
