Hi everyone! I hope you are all well!

I was referred and seen by the breast clinic today for a significant dimple in my right breast. They performed an ultrasound of the right breast only, which was all clear, and the doctor told me that it was probably just the 'breast fat changing'. Relieved that there is nothing to worry about.

While I was there, I mentioned that I also had developed a significant finger-length indent in my left breast, that also came with pain that radiated into my armpit, and at times is so bad that I can't sleep, get comfortable, or even use the arm. The doctor dismissed this as being normal, and because I was only referred for concerns about my right breast, that he would not request an ultrasound for the left. When the radiologist (a doctor) saw the left side, she said that really it should be scanned also, but she cannot do it without a request. 

Before I left, the doctor let me know that if I developed any further issues in the right side, I can rerefer myself for up to 6 months to be seen again without having to go via my GP. I asked again about the left side as it is something that is concerning me, I'm already on a high dose of anti-inflammatories and other pain relief for other issues and they do not seem to be helping, he simply told me again that it's normal and if I was worried I should go and see my GP. 

I can't help but feel somewhat fobbed off? The pain in the left side, starts in the breast and then radiates, and the indent is more prominent whenever my arm tenses. He was able to see and feel it when he examined me. I plan on making contact with my GP, but who knows when I'll get an appointment.
