breast biopsies & getting back to normality

hello everyone,  just like you all I found a lump in my left breast 5 weeks ago and had my appointment at the breast clinic yesterday where the consultant said he could feel 2 lumps.  I had a mammogram, ultrasound, fine needle aspiration but no fluid drawn, so had core needle biopsies.  I cannot remember the information i was given around what to do following this procedure.  I work in an industry where I could by physically attacked and have to restrain individuals.  I am worried if I go back to work I could create further issues.

Just wondering if someone could advise me if I should be resting for the next few days, my biopsise were taken from the side of my breast and wearing a bra makes it feel like pressure in that area and going up towards my armpit area

Sorry for the long windedness my head us all over the place with worry until I get my results, didnt sleep at all last night & feel sick with worry

Hope someone can answer me

Thankyou
