The cords grow on and off, she's had 6 or 7 under her left breast, then they disappeared and only 1 stayed, now she has 4 or 5 of them.. They're not too long, around 2-3 cm (1 inch), she feels a slight pain, more pain when pressed, and when she raises her arm she has a feeling of tension where the cords are. She hasn't had any surgeries or traumas, but recently took some hormones for fertility stimulation. She sometimes feels what she describes as pain in the veins in her legs. The doctors can't figure out what these cords are, I only found it on the Internet and from what I saw, it looks exactly like Mondor's disease.<br />JDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675087351939177300.post-60243749000563018802012-03-28T18:48:14.639-05:002012-03-28T18:48:14.639-05:00I also have been recently diagnosed with Mondor...I also have been recently diagnosed with Mondor's Disease. I have had no surgeries or injuries. I've had ultra sound, abdomen cat scan, and numerous blood tests. These cords are multiplying and branching. I now have cords on my right chest wall wrapping down past liver and around my back,there are cords on my left side, going around my back also, and it feels like there are some of these in my gut too. I also feel this in my thigh also. The pain is a 10 at times, sending me to bed. I have no life. All the recommendations of the dr's for pain relief doesn't work. I am unable to function. They are active,they grow on and off and when active my voice is unrecognizable due to, I think, the internal swelling. I am disgusted with the medical profession for not doing more research on this. This has been escalating and going on for months. Pain all the time. Reassurance, hot, cold,ansaids do not work! I'm trying to find something to stop the progression of this. I do believe this will kill me if I don't get help. Drs basically know nothing about what causes this.KDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707990946250394017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675087351939177300.post-68982208993549564672012-03-17T12:34:24.330-05:002012-03-17T12:34:24.330-05:00I have never had surgery and no trauma and yet I h...I have never had surgery and no trauma and yet I have what clearly appears to be Mondor's. My doctor and radiologist are "absolutely perplexed" as they can't clearly see it on the mammo or ultrasound. They also sent me for an MRI and only found a calcification that needs to be monitored. Although mondor's appears to just go away, I am a bit freaked as to why I have it for no reason! When I lift my arm above my head it looks like someone is taking a string and pressing it all the way across my breast. :( It is so unattractive and annoying! At nights it feels like it is going to rip out of my chest!!! I wish someone could give me answers and not just be "fascinated" when they see it.mwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287671447457207711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675087351939177300.post-64656681632656640782011-09-12T08:23:25.696-05:002011-09-12T08:23:25.696-05:00My post may be more than yra older than Nils, but ...My post may be more than yra older than Nils, but goy to agree him that "Internet is our friend :-)". I saw a 35 yr old male patient (my barber) with superficial chest pain on 7th September 2011. He came back later, stating that the pain was still there, now he could feel something that wasn't there when he had come. Indeed I could palpate a strikingly cord like structure starting from the lt. lateral apex of the pect muscle, transcending the chest above the niple down to the epigastric area at a point midway between the umbilicus and the xyphiod process. My first guess was....is is witchcraft since we are in Africa??? But I was suspicious it could be vacular given the course of the cord but still wasn't sure. A surgeon hinted about the thrombophlebitis, googled it in my own, the came up with Mondor's disease....and the treatmemnt I gave was what is generally recommended.

I did 4 mammographies, the doctor told me that it was something she had never seen but she was going to study, I never got a explanation for what I had. Doctor suggested a biopsy. After more than I year I looked for another doctor. Only yesterday, I was diagnosis Mondor's disease. The more I read on the Internet the more I get curious. Unfortunately, there's not much about...I am scared.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932824786483979253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675087351939177300.post-61444331002383658272009-10-11T12:46:57.988-05:002009-10-11T12:46:57.988-05:00I was given the diagnosis a month ago.

While I am a "text book case", I was a bit concerned by the size of the structure (from armpit to hip with branching)and the fact that I had none of the typical cause factors. I also had a clear mammogram only 5 months before. A current mammogram did reveal an adenofibroma, requiring a biopsy. I don't have those results yet, but will in a couple of days. I've seen so many MDs in the past month, the surgeon is next for the 2nd opinion (really the 3rd or 4th) to help decide the next course of action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675087351939177300.post-44657804898985365652009-02-11T15:02:00.000-06:002009-02-11T15:02:00.000-06:00Had a patient with this in my office today.
