Hi, just wanted to re-assure you, I had dreadful cording down my affected arm to my wrist. This came from the scar tissue from node clearance. I had quite a bit of physio on it. The physio put pressure on the cords and the thinner ones you could actually hear them crack. The cracking didn't hurt,in fact it was relief. The more stubborn ones took quite a while i'm afraid. I sat everynight rubbing bio oil into my scar,which was quite uncomfortable. I would strongly suggest that you do the stretching exercises though, even if it hurts, because it really helped me. I am nearly 2 years now and I have full movement in my arm. I can still feel a couple of small lumps underneath the scar,which are small cysts,the reminants of the swelling. (They don't hurt! I just know they are there) they have been looked at under ultrasound and show as being full of fluid! I am able to to everything that I could do before,so it will eventually get better,it's just slow. Hope this helps.
