Left Breast Pain which radiates down left arm

Hi.

I started with pain in my left breast back in May which then was accompanied with pain down my left arm.

Went to my GP after a month, who referred me to the breast clinic. There I had an ultrasound and was given the all clear.

Pain has not improved, if anything I feel like it's worse. Can not feel any lumps but do have tenderness when feeling my breast especially behind the nipple. 

 

I've been referred back to the breast clinic and have my appointment tomorrow. I'm so anxious and have been having sleepless nights. Just wanted to hear other people's stories and thoughts and any advice would be welcome. Thanks xxx

    Hi,

    I am experiencing these exact same symptoms, been going on about 6 weeks. Been to doctors, no lumps found, advised to try voltarol for the next 2 weeks, if no difference go back to GP. I'm a week in using voltarol and no difference at all, still pain, sharp and achy.

    Hi,

    Mines the same, it's so draining to be in constant pain all the time isn't it.

    I tried Voltarol but this didn't really help. I was then given Naproxen and Co-codomol which take the edge off slightly but make me feel abit spaced out which I don't like.

    I've been reading up on breast health and i'm going to try some herbal remedies like Starflower oil and Castor oil packs with heat.

    I hope you can get some relief with yours x
