WHAT TO DO WHEN CORDING & LYMPHOEDEMA OCCUR AT THE SAME TIME | Diagnosis and Treatment Techniques
There are two side effects of Breast Cancer Treatment that are particularly common: Cording and Lymphoedema. Most of the time they occur separately but every now and then patients will present with both at the same time.
I suspect these two conditions almost feed off each other: Lack of movement with tight cording could lead to reduced lymphatic flow....Increased fluid in the arm could put mechanical pressure on already tight nerves and increase cording.
So can we treat both at the same time? And if so, how do we do it? Watch this video to learn more about why Cording and Lymphoedema can occur together, and how I treat patients in this scenario.
