Hi
I’ve been on the forum before and had great support from lovely people so hoping for the same again as I am sick with worry.
Last year I had an inverted nipple and breast pain and was referred to clinic. Long story short, had thorough examination and mammogram and got the all clear. Nurse told me it was non cyclical pain as I’m post menopausal and 58.
The pain did not ease so was referred back to clinic a few months later where I had another examination and an ultrasound of the top of my breast which they then reassured me that it was nodular tissue/cysts. My nipple at the time still popped out but this has gotten slowly worse over the last year and I have a tingling pain in my breast/nipple that is very worrying. I am also sore in my arm too on that side.
Ive been back to my GP twice this year and been examined thoroughly and been reassured that there is nothing wrong. I was on HRT for about 8 years but stopped in January this year as I was too scared to take it given my breast issue. Now my nipple has gone completely flat and just looks completely different to the other so going back to GP on Friday to ask for another referral to clinic. I am so upset as I know this is definitely not right and nothing reassures me at all. Do you think I am being paranoid and this fear could be causing the sensations in my breast which is now under my arm. Can’t feel any lumps but area feels a bit harder/thicker.
sorry for ranting but my quality of life has been awful for the last 18 months with the worry of this x
