Hello

I'm in a similar situation. I have pains in my right breast and arm pit, and now the pain is starting in the top of my back. I've been waiting for a referral appointment for 7 weeks.

Did the gel or changing your bra help ?

Hello, its been 4 days since i changed my bra to a comfort one with no wires and have been using the ibuprofen gel. I find its feels better yes but im worried incase its just masking the issue,it's a hard one x

Hi all I am in a very similar situation with left breast pain started on the 11th of october 2019. It is still there and very concerning. No other symptoms.

I have been to 4 GPs, breast specialist and had an ultrasound scan which came back as normal.

I also had a hospital admission with centralised chest pain the night before my breast clinic appointment as I was sick worried about it.

truth is no reason was given for my pain - it is common and affects many women, it may be hormonal or not... yet I do not have an answer to my pain.

I actually think I am losing my mind worrying about it - I am constantly looking things up online, keeping myself up at night, I lost interest in most things and have regulr panic attacks. 
 

i have now booked myself for another consultation and ultrasound scan privately (250 pounds) which is not something I can afford but I am so not settled! I just keep worrying that maybe something was missed in the first scan.

Hi ladies, im in a similar situation I've had pain in my right breast since October back then I would say it was sorer it has calmed down but im still tender. I went to my gp in November and she checked me over and said everything felt normal I felt a massive relief she gave me gel and I continued to use it after a few week it eased off. It hasn't went away and the last few days its been a bit tender but it seems to be when I'm checking its as if I'm making it more sore. Im only a b cup and pretty flat chested I cant feel anything but this pain has been in my mind and I'm constantly googling looking for answers. I've stopped wearing bra and due to lock down either wearing no bra or a bra with no wire and im still experiencing the tenderness. My gp did say I could go back. Now my minds been working over time and everything I read it says pain isn't sinister but I cant understand why im tender. X

I to am in this situation and can't stop worrying. I have many other health conditions and am nearly 62. I had mastitis when breastfeeding 31 years ago, which left a tender area ever since but all was always okay on my mammograms. I had my last mammogram a year ago and all was clear.

For around 3 months now I have had what I can only describe as a burning sore sensation in that same breast and it spreads down into the nipple. Sometimes it even hurts when I breath or move, other times it just feels like sunburn, sometimes it's a stabbing pain.  I first noticed it in the shower when the water hit it. I eventally saw the doctor a month ago and he examined me and was not concerned - said it was mastaglia. He said come back if it doesn't get any better.

Needless to say I couldn't get a telephone appointment for today and have to try again tomorrow. Driving myself crazy keep googling everything! I just keep telling myself that a) he wasn't worried and b) I have no other symptoms at all. 

Hi 

I have had breast pain on one specific spot on left breast since about June 2018. Feels like how a bruise would feel to touch or press on. I have been examined by different doctors who said Mastalgia/possible cyst. I am at a new surgery now in a different area and have asked if I could be referred for a scan. Im about to be 40 and still have periods, although a short cycle and do not feel as though I am pre menopause. I am feeling constantly worried about why I have had this pain for so long and the doctors do not appear concerned enough for a referral to a breast clinic. I was told unless I have a lump then they won't. I can not even tell if its a lump because feels like its around my rib cage on the inner side of my breast and every time I examine myself it just hurts to press. Surely breast pain can not last this long??

I have a telephone appointment with the doctor this morning. I feel constantly worried too, to the point I can't concentrate on anything else. It's really getting me down. When the doctor examined me a month ago and was not concerned I was so relieved, but it is till so sore sometimes I just have to move and it hurts like a sharp burning stabbing pain. What with Covid and recently diagnosed Autism I couldn't possibly feel any lower and scared than I do right now. 

Hi

Hopefully the doctor will help. I also have an appointment on Friday although that felt like I was begging them to see me,  its very hard to switch off from worries about it isnt it.   I have a son with Autism so I can understand how this is making you feel so anxious. Hopefully you get some support today! 

I have an appointment this afternoon with the doctor too, I'm hoping even if he's not concerned he'll refer me so I can get it checked out just for peace of mind. I can't function properly while I'm worrying about it. 

I just wanted to respond as your situation sounds the same as mine. I have pain in my left breast, I'm also an a/b cup but have been having pain since before Christmas. I had an appointment in December, she couldn't feel anything but gave me the gel. I've only used it a handful of times as I feel like that is only going to mask the problem rather than solve it. I too have stopped wearing a bra since we're in lockdown anyway. I don't know whether to contact my gp again to see what the next step is since I have the pain most days. I just want it to go away as it's constantly in the back of my mind making me worry in case it is something sinister. 

Hi ladies. 
I am in your boat.  I think. 
I had breast implants 12 years ago. I've just found out my implants were recalled 2 years ago in the USA due to a link to cancer but they haven't been recalled in the UK. 

I have been in a&e today with the pain in my left breast bit started in the middle of my boobs on the left side - I thought it was due to trauma. It's now radiating and burning in the bone under my armpit, the top of my breast muscle and my lower left rib. Convinced myself I have ALCL which is linked to lymphoma and caused by the implants I have. My breast clinic appt is next week. My anxiety is through the roof and I have a 2 year old who I love more than anything and I can't control my crying for worrying. The pain doesn't go with pain killers at all but seems to move around. I'm petrified. 

Hi and I hope you had your appointment and it went okay? and Hi everyone else, well I had my breast clinic appointment today, mamogram and ultrasound, and nothing found. They coudln't explain the pain though just that it is very common, so I feel a lot better about it but still the pain niggles away! So hopefully now i've had the all clear it may calm down a bit - here's hoping. Boob very sore after being squashed and prodded again though!
