Hi hun

Thank you so much for replying to me. How are you getting on? I have not improved much and still getting pain wash over me through my breast, arms, shoulders it tends to be worse in the evening? Some nights I have had no sleep as it's so painful to lie down.
 

  I have had blood tests done now so I should get those this week and I'm at the breast clinic Wednesday. I'm still panicky but trying to keep busy and not overthink. 

Hope you're ok and thanks for your support! 

Hi everyone!

Thanks so much for everything you've shared it's really helpful

I have really similar symptoms to you [@maya38]‍  and [@Scaredbeyondwordsx]‍ . Shoulder pain, under arms, breast, chest ribs. Also exhaustion and feeling weak. Last couple nights whole right shoulder area has been burning and throbbing slightly. I have a 2 year old who is full-on and I'm a solo parent. I need to rest but can't really. 

@maya38 how are things now? Hope all is ok? 

I'm waiting for a breast clinic on 27th October. Finding it hard to maintain calm and find energy to keep going. Doctor found lymph lump but suspects infection. Have been prescribed antibiotics but feel like I don't want to hammer my immune system with them in case it's not an infection and my immune system needs all the power it can muster. Also, Doc thinks most likely the bacteria would be the same MRSA from a long bout of mastistis about 2 years ago which only responded to 2 rare antibiotics in lab tests, however I won't be able to find out the right antibiotics until Monday so I'm pondering whether to take the ones he's prescribed me yesterday or not as I'm feeling a lot worse today.  The symptoms are not at all similar to the bouts of mastistis I had - totally different in fact. 

Any thoughts welcomed thanks!

Hello

Hello am getting this same thing am only 30 and I suffer with mental health and I've been other thinking things it's got me all over the place the doctor today didn't seem to take me very seriously. I've search Google for answers but nothing. The pains in my shoulders and my back 

I had developed dry skin on both nipples around my areola and when the hospital and they scanned and told me it was just dry skin and its not gone away so I oil it with olive oil for cooking and that seems to help and I still get pain in breasts and HD a hard lump in my arm pit that turned out to be non cancerous and I worry a lot because of the fact of hereditary facts my gran died of breast cancer and she was much younger than me when she died and I'm now 51years old and my gran daughter that is my mother is still alive and is 68 years old and has lived longer than her own mother and hasn't developed breast caner so please don't worry I did too much of that how much to the fact I even have a scan at age 26 and my last one at age 51 so I've been checking constantly just because of my grandma and as I said my mother is still alive and she is fine but her mother didn't even live as long as my own mother so it doesn't hit everybody as you can see my mother live longer than her own mother and anyway I don't worry so much now I just keep the good I check the earlier you catch it the better your chances just keep checking but some worrying

Hello,

I am also 22 and just started experiencing this last week. At first I thought it was a stroke but I went to A&E and my GP and they both said it is not a heart attack or anything. Whenever I move or touch my left boob it hurts!  What was your diagnosis if you don't mind me asking ?

Hi Chichi,

Sadly, few uf us are doctors and, even if we were, it would be impossible to diagnose your condition without seeing you, as all cases are individual to that person. Breast cancer is seldom associated with breast pain, it is unusual in young people of your age and, only 1 person in every 8 referred to the breast clinic will receive a cancer diagnosis.

It is therefore unlikely, although sadly not impossible, that you have breast cancer. I sincerely hope that this turns out to be the case. Many young people get hormonal changes at about the time of their period each month. There can also be benign cysts and other less serious causes for your symptoms. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Keeping my fingers crossed for good news.

Kind regards,

Hello lovely, I still sadly don't have a diagnosis I'm awaiting an appointment with a neurologist currently, but still have the same worsening symptoms. I'm so sorry you're going through this, it's a scary place to be. Please keep me updated I hope it all goes okay. X

Hey! It's honestly heartbreaking seeing others going through this aswell, I'm so sorry you are, I'm sadly still going through it with no answers, nearly 3 years now, I hope it doesn't end up the same for others and I really hope you get answers soon. Doctors did the same with me and still do because of my age but I didn't stop, I kept complaining, kept going back, researched all I could, even went private a few times sadly I'm not finanacially well right now to be able to remain doing that but I didn't get anywhere sadly anyway. Doctors do look at age and I hate that they do because although it's rare women our age can get bc or other diseases, it's horrible that it isn't always taken seriously, that's oh so familiar to me and I'm sorry it is to you also, please persist and don't stop until you have answers I know it's easier said than done but it's the only way I got anywhere, we know our bodies better than anyone else x
