Breast heaviness/tenderness

Hi Everyone 

i feel stupid even being on here as i know its probably nothing.

Last week i had pain in my left breast which felt like bruising and slight discolouration above nipple area.

i thought it was just one of those things but my left side just didn’t feel right and heavy and tender when banged or touched

then I thought i felt a slight lump/lumpiness above nipple yo the left

so made an appointment with gp.

she said my left breast was bigger than right but that is not unusual

she said the left side was tender and something was def different to the right 

she referred me to breast clinic but said not to worry as prob nothing 

I have an appointment on Monday for mammogram 

ive tried not to worry and when i feel it now i think it feels normal apart from tender

Any advice for the next few days would be appreciated before mammogram and do you normally get results same day

not sure if related but im extremely tired to the point of exhaustion 

im 53 had full hysterectomy when i was 37 so no periods etc and on hrt

thanks in advance

    iys best to get checked , I never felt any lump only a heaviness I had a diagnosis of BC I’m not in any way saying this is going to be the same for you what I mean is the checks are key .

    I went to a one stop breast clinic private I had a mamogram ultrasound and biopsy 

    I was told there and then it looked suspicious a week later biopsy confirmed it 

    that was July 22 I’m fully recovered now 

    I also had hysterectomy at 34 I’m 49 now no hrt xx

    love Lara 

    good luck I’m sure all will be ok xx 

  • Thanks “Lara and glad you are recovered

    I feel stupid being on here when not had any tests yet. I was referred by gp to breast clinic but just had phone call yesterday yo have mammogram on Monday

    im sure there’s nothing wrong but still a worry

    My husband says it’s probably nothing but think thats his way of coping incase

    no breast cancer in family and gp did say unusual to have pain for cancer

    so fingers crossed

  • Thats weird. When my dog sat in me it hurt lol
