Just Questions after breast clinic appointment. Worried about pain, bruising and possible infection after core needle biopsy

I attended the breast click two weeks after a @ week referral pathway having felt a lump in my left breast.  The Consultant couldn't feel anything so send me for a mammogram and then an ultrasound.  I then had a core needle biopsy, two samples taken and was given a follow up appointment for next week.  I was told there was a 'mass' measuring 1.6mm.  I also had a marker inserted.  Two weeks on, after a lot of bruising I now have pain, with is occasionally a sharp pain or a dull ache.  My type 1 diabetes blood sayer levels are all over the place, I don't know if I maybe have an infection.  I don't want to be a nuisance to the hospital but also am not sure if I should be concerned that after two weeks a pain is there, also the lump feels to me double the size it was.  I don't know if I should be worried which is making me worry.  Any advice?

  • Hi, I hope this offers some reassurance. I've had a lump in my breast for quite a few years, it's a benign tumour. I had ultrasound, then a biopsy and the needle left me bruised for a while. I get pain on and off with it (always had this before any tests) If I ever feel the lump is changing or something is off I go straight to the GP and they give me a 2 week referral as there is history of breast cancer in my family. Best thing is to keep on top of it and you're not a nuisance to anyone. If you need to get peace of mind then go and get it :)
