Advice - concerns about breast health

Hi everyone 

i posted in here a while back

i had what felt like bruising around my left breast and heaviness

went to gp who examined and said left bigger than right but that could be normal but she could feel lumpy areas so referred to breast clinic.

had a mammogram and after a few weeks wait was told no lumps found so probably muscle related

Bur not sure if I should go back to gP as still got a bruised like intermittent pain around left side I suppose between breast and ribcage and something just doesn’t feel right i cant feel any lumps but do have slight discoloured area which was there before and consultant said it was probably excema.

also when i put hands in hips can see very small indent/puckering area small though

Im probably just being paranoid but wondered has anyone else experienced this woth no obvious lumps

only had mammogram not any scans

Thanks

  • Hi Nicola,

    Welcome back. I am sorry to hear that you still don't feel reassured that all is ok with your breast. Mammograms can occasionally miss certain types of breast cancer and pain is seldom associated with it. However, if you still feel that something is not right, there would be no harm in getting it investigated again.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
