Mondors Cord?? Pain when stretching!

I noticed when I stretch either of my arms high (to hang pans in my kitchen) I get pain under my incisions 🙁 so I had a look and I can’t see it well enough to take a pic but I can feel tight veins under my skin. One under my left and one under my right. Has anyone else had this? I’ve read they go away in their own time but what can I do to get rid of them ASAP? They hurt!! Xxxx

I had this, they do go xxx

Thanks @nips 🙂 how long did it take? Did you just leave them to it? Xxx

Yeah you can’t really do much as they say you can put a warm compress on them but then you’re not allowed to get your scars warm! Nightmare. Just try not to sleep on that side … Mine were so painful when sleeping on my side and front. The nurse told me to make curcular motions to try to free them up…. They took a couple of weeks to go xxx try not to lift anything x

I had this too and wondered what it was. I think its just time, I am now 5 weeks PO and I haven’t noticed this problem for around 2 weeks now xx

Thanks that puts my mind at rest 🙂 xxx
