Hi everyone, just thought i’d post this in the forum as i’m suprised nobody written anything about it before!
A couple of days ago i noticed that when i lift my right arm, i get lines in my skin under my right boob. They start at the incision and run downwards; it looks like something is attached too tight and a cord sticks out of my skin. It’s also quite painful, especially to the touch; it looks as though its being pulled. I phoned my nurse to check it was normal and she told me it was called Mondors Cords and is common-ish after breast surgery. They are like varicose veins and can form after surgery. And although they are painful, they are harmless and will subside after a month or 2.
Just thought i’d post this and ask has anybody else had these? And have they gone away?
