Pain by left Breast on upper side near armpit

Hello, i have had a pain not in my breast tissue but its beside my breast imbedded in the tissue beneath it to left handside. I have read many others here have this too, my sympathy goes out!  Ive had this since 2015, so 5 years now & still concerned about it. Ive had mamograms which were excruciatingly painful & made me yell out when this breast was pressed & i wondered if my breast muscle was ripped... result was no sign of cancer but to be honest this isnt in the breast. I have autoimmune problems 20 yrs & dr said it was probably another autoimmune condition & an inflamation of the rib cartilage. Theres one particular spot which hurts. Ive large breasts & removed the metal bone that side. It aches all the time & im at a loss what to do. Any advice id be so grateful. I feel the dull pain has increased & i can feel it through to my shoulder blade

  • Welcome to the forum patienceisme although I'm sorry to read about the pain you've been contending with. 

    If you're not happy with what the doctor has suggested maybe you could try getting a second opinion from a different doctor? You can find out more here but I hope some of our members will offer their thoughts and suggestions to you soon as well.
