i am 18 years old and for the past couple of weeks i've even experiencing pain in my left side which also affects the side of my left breast. at first i thought i'd slept funny (i have G cups so this happens sometimes) but the dull ache isn't going. i'm quite the hypochondriac so i check my breasts literally everyday for my own peace of mind. i thought i found a lump (it feels different to my right breast, which has no issues at all) and immediately thought the worst, so i went to see my GP. i had two separate examinations from two separate doctors who said they couldn't feel anything, the first of which even saying 'don't worry, you're too young to have cancer'. but really, you're never too young. the pain worsens when i feel where the 'lump' is, which makes me think it's a clogged milk duct or a cyst as it flares up and calms down depending on the pressure on it. the pain seems to relieve itself a little bit when i wear a bra. my second doctor has referred me to the breast clinic for my peace of mind, but i'm really nervous as to what they might find. as i said, i'm only 18 and these past few weeks have made me panic and cry more than anything ever has; i haven't been sleeping or eating or even thinking properly.
