Hey everyone,

I feel a bit daft posting here, because I suppose the chances of this being Cancer are minimal, but I've been referred to the breast clinic - and the worry that comes with it is starting to eat at me.

I started having pain in my right boob that was dull pain, the occasional shooting pain to my armpit and a burning sensation along the side of my boob. I decided to start tracking it to make sure it wasn't part of my cycle and here I am, two months later still having the same pain which is not my normal. I've also started having a twinge/pain in my back which is directly opposite the boob pain. I've also been having night sweats. My boobs are quite large and generally veiny and pretty dense. There is no lump that I or the GP can feel, but something doesn't feel right. The GP referred me to the breast clinic nevertheless, so im just waiting on an appointment date.

I just wanted to know if anyone else had experienced back pain on the same side as the boob pain? Or if boob pain was your first symptom... I've heard so much that pain is very rarely cancer, but I've also heard of people saying that it was a symptom.

I know I'm overthinking and likely worrying over nothing.. But it's hard to get my mind off it at the moment and I know I've got a long wait ahead before my Breast clinic appt!
