Mind not put at rest

Hi guys hope you so t mind me posting just wanted opinions as can't find any deffinate answers online etc about a month ago I went to gp because my left breast felt tender to touch etc I was sent to breast clinic when I was there I had a physical examination by a specialist Dr and also a trainee Dr they both had a good feel around although I had said I couldn't feel any lumps or anything myself just tenderness she then told me she was happy there was nothing to worry about and gave me a leaflet for breast pain as I am only 28 I wouldn't be sent for further testing unless necessary which I understand however I am still getting this pain and my mind is not at rest at all because I am not 100 percent sure it's nothing what can I do? Should I go back to doctors and ask for further tests? 

  • Hi SRM,

    Thank you for posting. I see from your post that you are worried about some symptoms you have.  When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers online, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better, so its best to stay away. As you say, your doctor thinks no further testing needed so that's good news.

    If your symptoms change or worsen, you should go back to your clinic.

    I hope this is helpful,
