Is This Mondor's Disease

Is This Mondor's Disease

In July of 2002 I had a lupectomy and axillary lymph node dissection.  At the same time I had a breast mammoplasty.  A couple months ago I noticed a few small lumps under my breast and later on my side.  They were slightly painful.  My surgeon explained Mondor's Disease to me and said this was my condition.  Now my arm is very painful when I try to raise it above my head. It feels as if something is pulling it.  I think  it may be slightly swollen on the forearm with a small cyst or swollen spot on the wrist.  I have been doing the arm exercises again to relieve the pain and give me back full use of this arm.  So far it hasn't seemed to help.  This has been going on for about 2 weeks.  Is this Mondor's Disease?

Dear lizmcdowell:  Without evaluating your condition, it is impossible to determine if this is Mondor's disease.  I suggest that you contact your surgeon or another breast specialist for another opinion on your situation.
