  • Hi scotty

    im sorry to hear you are still in pain I know just how you feel. Last year in March 22, I had burning pain in my left breast and I noticed that my nipple on that side had gone inverted some way. My GP referred me to the breast clinic and I had a mammogram and thorough examination. Nothing of any concern showed other than very nodular cyst area, so I was sent on my merry way with a diagnosis of non cyclical pain and told to use some ibuprofen gel. Fast forward to June and the pain was constant so Gp referred me back to clinic. I was seen again in august 22 again lovely team examined me and gave me an ultrasound on breast where the pain was and which felt more lumpy than the rest. Again told all was well and discharged. In September I was called for routine Screening mammogram which was also clear. I am still in pain but my breast is now harder than the other so been referred back to clinic for a third time. I am worried sick and can’t cope with the pain any longer. Nothing helps with this now including the gel that worked before. My nipple is also red and very flat now so hoping to get seen again soon. 
    Have you been back to your GP? 
    it’s such a worry isn’t it? x
