Breast burning/tingling

N92
Offline

Hi. I did want to upload a picture so you could see. 
But in my left breast i am feeling a burning/tingling feeling, it also feels like areola (i think thats what its called) has gone lighter and is really sensitive to the other (keeps going hard) and seems to be a little flatter than the other one, also the burning feeling feels like its in my armpit now also! 

i have a referal made but this 2 week wait is scaring the life out of me, my anxiety is at its max to the point i cant eat  :(

ive had loads of bloods done and all come back ok, but i no bloods doesnt pick up cancer. I had an inflammatory blood test which came back as normal.

i am so so scared.

    Hi, I have very similar and I’m worried sick. Like you, my left breast feels very sensitive with burning sensation also in armpit, some days even spraying deodorant seems to hurt. I have seen the doctor and she found a lump but I can’t see or feel this myself.  This was found during my ovulation week so Im just praying it’s something hormonal. I’ve also had bloods done that have all come back normal including inflammatory. I have appointment on Thursday to be checked, 2 days before I go on my honeymoon. I’ve spent the last week googling everyday and I am so so down.

    Hi Cmck11,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. 

    I am sorry to hear that you are in this unenviable situation too. You have done the right thing by getting this investigated. Who is your appointment with on Thursday - Your GP or the breast clinic? This is always a worrying time and I sincerely hope that nothing untoward is found. Please read the  replies I have sent to N92 and AWin179, as it sounds as if you are all in a similar situation.

    Here's hoping that you can put this behind you before you go away and that it won't overshadow your honeymoon - I hope that you have a fabulous time.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

    Hi Jolamine, thank you so much for your message. My appointment is with the breast clinic, my worry is that I still may have to wait for results for another 10 days - 2 weeks but I hope I have some sort of clarity on the day. I have read through your replies, my doctor has indeed mentioned Costochondritis as my initial doctors visit was for chest pain which I still have. Xx
