Does a painful Mondor's Cord indicate a problem?

January 9, 2017
Asked By:AJ 08.11.16 in Sydney, AU

I'm 9wks post BA with 390cc Mentor silicone HP anatomical unders. I have Mondor's Cord under both breast, however the right one is quite painful at times extending over the ribs to the top of my abs. I can't see the cord, but can feel it with my fingers when rubbing the pain, so it must be a deeper vein. I have read that Mondor's Cord is nothing to worry about & will resolve itself over time. I just want to check that is the case when they are painful?
