Breast pain and ache.. does this sound positive

Hi everyone.

I posted last Tuesday after having been to my GP presenting with symptoms: swollen right breast (a lot bigger than my other), dull aching shooting pains in my breast and she also found a small lump on the inner quadrant of my right breast.

I have got my appt for breast clinic which is on Friday - terrified doesn't even touch it .

For the last 5 days I also have a slightly (not much) swollen arm pit. My breast is still swollen, I am experiencing a pain which almost feels like it is in my chest. My arm feels "dead" from time to time. 

I did suffer a miscarriage at 10 weeks mid October, I am hoping and praying this is something hormonal or similar.

Can anyone who has had similar please advise on what your outcome was. I'm going out of my mind with worry. Sleep is non existent. 

  • Hi M3492,

    I'm very sorry to hear of your worries and also what you have been through recently. It's good to hear you don't have much longer to wait for your appointment and I can certainly understand the waiting and uncertainty being difficult.

    There will likely be others here who have been through something similar, so hopefully you'll get some more replies soon. You can also search the forum (using the button in the blue bar above) for other relevant discussions if you would like to.

    In the meantime there is some information here about what to expect at the breast clinic, in case you want to take a look.

    Wishing you all the best,
