Breast Pain in one breast

Hi,

First time and nervous poster here.

For the last few weeks/couple of months - I have been experiencing pain in my right breast (this has always been the problem one)  sometimes it is random pains, but it is particularly painful if knocked, pushed, pressed - I have to avoid hugging on that side.  The pain definitely gets worse during my period, but I can still feel it throughput the month.

I have seen a breast specialist two weeks ago, he had a good examine and could feel a lumpier area where I was feeling - but not a lump, regardless he sent me for an ultrasound and a mammogram - all came back fine and he said to take oil of evening primrose and ensure my bra is well fitted (I am not particularly large there anyway only a B cup)

Well fast forward to now and although I have been taking my primrose I am still in pain and now feeling anxious that more could be going on - I am 38 and he said too young for this to be menopause.

Thank you for reading if you got this far.

    Hi I have been suffering pain in one breast for a long time so in August last year was sent for a mammogram and ultra sound and was told it was just dense tissue so left feeling ok then last month was invited for my usual 3 yearly check and went then was called back as there was an anomaly ? Had another ultrasound  followed by a biopsy as there was a 22mm mass I was shocked as had been given the all clear 8 months previously. So now I’m waiting my results all they would say is they have concerns ! So I would definitely not take their word for it push for another mammogram and biopsy

    Hi Jacquie, I’m so sorry to hear this. It’s really quite worrying and the drs won’t biopsy as no particular area to biopsy. The area of concern gets lumpier with my period and is more painful then too, but definitely is painful through other times just not as much. 

    Have you had any results yet? May I ask what your pain was like? My right boob has always been my problem one, although the pain has changed so at the moment I have scans every 2.5 years - last one before this one was 2021.

    sending lots of love your way xx
