Hi , 

I'm 39 female and had to have a vaccum assisted biopsy at the Breast Clinic last Wednesday. Very surprised to see that most guidelines say that the pain would go after 48hours when I have been very sore and unable to fully resume normal activity involving anything slightly heavy or streneous. I've taken paracetamol, iced it , worn a support bra etc The wound looks like it's healing normally with no sign of infection or bruising but the pain is quite deep within the breast tissue and shows no sign of receeding. Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and can share any advice ? Apart from the stress of waiting for the results ( there's a lot of cases of breast cancer in my family on my mother's side) it is really depressing not to be able to go back to my normal exercise routine because of it .  The Clinic only advised to carry on with pain killers .
