Leslie,

I had cording after my axillary node dissection and lumpy. It ran from the armpit to my thumb. It looked like a cord/rope right under the skin and was very painful. I believe it went away after about a month and hasn't recurred. I never got full motion in my arm after the AND although I did all the wall walking and other exercises suggested.

Hopefully, yours will be gone shortly.
