Hi everyone,
First time poster and hoping to ease some anxiety.
I have been experiencing pain in my right breast particularily around the nipple area for several months now. It isn't painful all day but frequent enough throughout the day to make me wince in pain.
My GP carried out a breast exam on Thursday and has referred me to the breast screening clinic. He didn't feel any lumps but said my right breast is fuller than the left and the nipple has heightened sensitivity. For the last 2 days my breast and now shoulder have been constantly sore. Is this normal from having a breast check up? It wasn't overly sore at the time, just the usual discomfort I expected.
I am also freaking out with anxiety at the thought of going to the clinic. Naturally I didn't listen to my GP and went straight on to google and have gotten myself so worked up that the thought of being told I have cancer is consuming my mind! So stressed out and hope it is a quick referral process.
Any tips on relieving anxiety and what I should expect at the clinic will be greatly appreciated.
