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,
