Hi Girlslikeme

Thanks for posting, Cording can be a painful side effect from removal of a lymph node. Women can often feel or see a web of thick, rope like structures under the skin of your inner arm.  It can have a huge impact on your day to day life. Generally this condition usually improves over a few months.   We would recommend speaking with your doctor to get their advice about therapies that may be helpful for you.

Kind Regards,

Cancer Nurse
