I just felt something that concerns me -

77australia · 11-03-2009, 11:53 PM

Hi -
Tomorrow I am two weeks out. I was just in the shower and felt a something I had not felt before at the base or crease of my breast.

I am not sure if I can event explain it --- it almost feels like a vain, or a tendon... it is visible if I put my hand behind my head and arch backwards or tag a big breath and hold it with my diaphragm full.

Should I be worried? I have my second follow up on Thursday..

sounds like a mondor cord to me.. look under complications at the top and it will be in there.. they arent serious just a pain in the butt..and they clear on there own.. altho i think there are things that can be doen to aleviate the pain or discomfort.. HTH!

77australia · 11-03-2009, 11:56 PM

would that explain why i am having such pain with the underwire as well?

Thanks for the fast reply! ;-)

Definitely sounds like a Mondors Cord and if so - you don't need to be worried. It will go away on its own. If it is bothering you, pain meds can help. Hot compresses, also. (Just avoid your incisions with the heat.) Some PS will advise massage on the sore area. Best to ask yours, to see what is advised.

I had these, also, one on each side. They went away on their own. No after affects. Not considered an actual complication, but more like a discomfort. I do not know what causes them in some and not others. Maybe inquire in the "Ask a PS" forum.

yup sounds like the mondors cord to me, i have a pic up in my album feel free to take a look , if it is , not really a big deal so feel blessed thats all you get with the complications

Yep Mondors Cord. I had it for about 6 weeks I guess then it just was gone one day. I had under one breast and in both underarms but mine didnt hurt it just looked weird. It'll go down before you know it

Wow, I have the same thing in the bottom inside crease, and I thought that it was rippling, or the implant 'popping out' of the crease. I hope that it really is this.
Mine feels like a small bubble, but is not painful. It is in a little bit of a line tho, so maybe it is this cord thing. I always thought that mondor' cord would be higher up on the breast more like a big vain??
Fingers crossed this is what it is!!

Lea69 · 11-04-2009, 05:42 AM

Yeah had one of those too...and like you I was like what the? It went away pretty quickly though. Very bizarre!

juggernauts · 11-04-2009, 07:05 AM

Google images of it thats what I did when I freaked out.... but mind you the pics on the net are of much more severe cases than I had.

Mine looked much worse when I put my arms above my head and stretched... I spose you could try that in front of the mirror to see if you can see it better.

It was kinda centre of the under boob

Thanks girls! This really really really help. I googled pictures and that is exactly what it is. So glad I found this site;-)

Yes they can come and go for several months just so you know for I still have one on my right breast but most go away in the first 2 months I am not the typical case.
