Sorry this is a bit of a long one.
A few weeks ago I had swelling above my right breast but below my collarbone towards my armpit. Over that weekend the pain got worse in my shoulder and down my arm to the point where I couldn't lift my arm.
The pain has eased and the swelling has gone down. I have pain going sort of from my nipple upwards and in my hand too.
I saw the GP who referred me for an ultrasound and said it was a lipoma but was very dismissive of the pain. He then called me in again to say that they wouldn't do an ultrasound as thats not the standard practise anymore and examined me again and said that it's a lipoma.
I have a family history of breast cancer and am feeling a bit dismissed as I've been researching lipomas and there shouldn't be any pain and it just doesn't seem consistent with my symptoms. I'm still having pain 6 weeks later.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice and if it's worth getting a second opinion. I'm not sure if I'm overreacting due to my family history.
