Sore breast since being examined, is that normal?

I recently found a lump and I am waiting to go to the breast clinic next week, however my breast is painful in that area since my examination is that normal?

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Yes, you can have some bruising and breast tissue swelling after a thorough breast examination. It should settle in a few days. Take some simple painkillers such as paracetamol to help.

    I hope that your breast clinic appointment goes well for you. 

    Best wishes,
