Breast Pain panic!

I've been suffering with a dull pulling pain behind my left breast for about 5 months and following a GP visit and a check of my breast we agreed it was likely to be hormonal related. I've just turned 48 and possibly perimenopausal. The pain is relentless and makes me feel sick and now and wakes me at night. Today my left shoulder and shoulder blade is painful and I don't know where this has come from. I've not injured myself yet it feels like I have. Then I realise the pain must be linked to the breast pain. And I'm panicking. Any advice would be so welcome right now.

  • Hi LuLar,

    I'm sorry to hear your pain is getting worse.

    Sometimes you can get referred pain in this area from other conditions.It might be related to a muscle or tendon injury but whatever it is it might be best for you to ring the NHS number for advice and they should be able to help you.

    If you feel panicky then stop your current thoughts for a moment, sit down and breathe in and out deeply 5 times.

    Anxiety and panic can make symptoms feel even worse.

    Chronic pain is horrible, I have Fibromyalgia so I know only too well.

    Take care :happy:
