Breast pain and dull ache in armpits

Hey everyone! 
 

I have been experiencing pain in my right breast (around the edge) for the last year. Last month I was referred to the breast clinic and discharged after an ultrasound, they said I just have a lumpy breast which can cause pain. 
 

In the last couple of weeks I have had a dull ache in my armpits and sometimes it is sore to touch. I struggle with my hormones and swelling of breasts around my period, so just wondering if it has caused my glands to swell too. I really want to get back in touch with the doctor to get them checked but not sure if it is necessary since I only went to the breast clinic last month? 
 

im only 23 and have ni family history of cancer so I am sure it is nothing but it is causing me a lot of anxiety! Just wondering if anyone has had the same experience?

 

any reassurance appreciated :)

  • Hello!

    im experiencing the same, I've seen the doctors 4 times and they've said there's nothing there. Can I ask how did you get referred to a breast clinic? I've been using ibrophen gel on my armpits and breast which may help you, that's what they recommended. 
     

    I think if you're still feeling anxious, then please go get checked again. You can never be too sure and it's exactly what I'm doing now. I'm 22 about to turn 23 and have no family history of breast cancer. Hope you get the answers you need xx
