Arm pain before diagnosis?

Hi, just wondering if anyone suffered with extreme arm pain and numbness before diagnosis?
My pain started Oct 22, followed by a swelling/ lump in armpit Dec 22. GP thought not suspicious so arranged for non urgent ultrasound, which I had on 15/02. Lump is a cyst, but abnormal lymph nodes detected. 
Had breast clinic appointment 02/03, suspicious area found in right breast, so biopsy of that and lymph node done, appointment for results on 09/03.
Consultant said when he first examined me he scored me a 1, following the mammogram and scan they have re scored a 4.
