Worried about pain in one breast

Hi all.

I started experiencing new not period related pain in my right breast only that started about a week ago and got a bit worse. It's a slight burning/pins and needles/aching/heaviness sensation. No changes in the appearance of the breast, I can't feel any lumps.

I've contacted a gp who basically said that breast pain is "usually not a concern", I should take painkillers, get a bra fitting, take primrose oil and contact them again if it doesn't resolve so they could refer me further then. That did not feel reassuring.

Any advice on whether I should as suggested see if it resolves or try to get a second opinion?

Thank you.

  • Hi matcha 

    I would definitely get it checked .

    i don't want to scare you but I never could feel any lump I had a heaviness but not pain and I had the dreaded BC diagnosis had no appearance change and never felt so well , deffo get a check as something told me to go I went and had early early stage highly treatable in June I'm fully ok all done now .

    I really hope this is not the case for you coukd be many things lots of breast issues don't end up with any diagnosis .

  • Hi I would definitely get a second opinion. I was 35 when diagnosed with a lump my baba was 7 months old . GP said was milk duct but sent me to get checked anyways luckily I did and was got early. I also carry both genes BRAC1 and PABL2 gene all found out from having cancer. This is your body plz plz never leave anything to chance . Ten mins scan or mammogram and your mind at ease . Good luck x
