Doctor Rayfield says not to worry

Swollen ligament nothing to worry about .
Being checked yesterday makes me feel reassured, this will go away by itself, Doc wanted to be sure there were no bleeds under the skin ruling out clots etc. He sees this from time to time after BL & BA, also, I have seen other gals here on RealSelf who have similar swellings . Heat & massage are effective treatments but not necessary. It'll go away in due time.
Okay I guess I panicked, Doctor Rayfield checked to see how my Breasts are healing.... He was pleased and said to give it time...
I can't believe it just over 3 weeks since my girls were downsized.
I don't have any true restrictions, I can return to the gym, light weights & swimming next week. My friends I need motivation.. I have the winter doldrums and a bit of Lazy LOL

I've been able to text/email pics to my surgeon ~ might save a trip for you!
March 5, 2014
Thanks, my surgeon will see in the morning, only 15 minutes away, I'll feel better once he sees what's going on with me, he may have suggestions for easing the discomfort.

I had the same thing after my breast reconstruction! With physical therapy , it eventually improved. Disruption of lymphatic system. First surgeon I saw was clueless, second opinion diagnosed immediately. Helpful to see a p
Therapist familiar with lymphatic drainage. Let us know what you find out!
March 5, 2014
Thanks, I'll post tomorrow after I talk with my surgeon, I am not terribly worried it's just really weird and I need Doctor Rayfield to see what's going on perhaps he can how to reduce the discomfort
((Hugs))

It looks like what our friend Svejuca had. She had a
Mondor's cord, and it did cause her discomfort from what I remember.
March 6, 2014
Thanks for telling my about Svejuca, I just read her review yep very similar symptoms...my doctor said it is fairly common, not to worry will go away by itself. Heat compresses might ease the tightness. The gym I go to has a hot pool used for physical rehab, I might try soaks & the sauna. I need to reconnect with working out, got the green light today from my surgeon to start out slow. ((Hugs)) LLB
March 6, 2014
Hope you feel better soon. I think she got a massage, which she said did not feel too good...but I think the pain went away. Good luck!
March 6, 2014
That is what she said massage, I'll have to consider that, if heat treatments don't help thanks I'll keep ya posted LLB

I think I have a BULGING LIGAMENT Under my Breast down running down towards my Belly button
Good morning ladies , I am looking for answers today and WONDERING if anyone has had this happen after a Breast-Lift.
I think I have a BULGING LIGAMENT Under my Breast down running down towards my Belly button.... A few days ago I felt bruised or tender underneath my left boob, after giving it a bit of attention I realized it was a raised and tight ( it's really tender) running down my tummy towards my TT incision.( It feels hard like a piece of solid rope, pulled very tight.)
My right side has a similar bulge but not as painful, & it is only under my breast.....( SO FAR )
It's interesting I Googled my symptoms..... No big surprise it brought me to REALSELF...... I am pretty sure this is what's going on....it's referred to as Mondor's Disease of the Breast. If that is what's going on, it'll go away hopefully cause its a bit painful (just a little bit)
Picture from google of area affected. ( just an illustration )
hummmmmm
Anybody else dealing with these symptoms ?

I'm of no help to the breast issue, just wanted to wish you luck and that it heals quickly!
March 4, 2014
Right now i'm only guessing what this is... I saw similar questions here on RealSelf and a few pictures on the Internet. They say it does go away by itself eventually. Thanks! LLB

I got them when I had my BA in 2008. They were scary! I called my doc and she said oh, those are mondor's cords, it will go away. here's what I found " Mondor's Cords are actually inflamed veins, can be single or multiple, and may be on one or both sides. Although painful, they are completely harmless, do not cause travelling blood clots, and will eventually go away in a month or two. There is no specific treatment advised, but some patients say that aspirin and warm baths are helpful. If heating pads or hot-water bottles are used, they must not be in contact with the breasts themselves..." Don't worry, they will go away.
March 4, 2014
also, it seems its a pretty common occurrence after BA/BL. according to wikepedia, no specific cause other than recent trauma to the area.
March 5, 2014
I've read about the symptoms and causes on Wikipedia it's just so weird and they run from under my boobs almost all the way down my tummy below my belly button...they feel hard & tender. I need to go on record with my surgeon let him see this my appointment is in the morning.
I did read it should go away in time by itself thanks LLb
March 5, 2014
I was pretty freaked out when I got them. I sent pics to my doc and she said not to worry, it's nothing bad. Just a weird reaction of the body to trauma.
