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 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! 

Hi. I just wondered if anything came of this for you, my problem is similar and has been there about 18 months now but recently has started to spread I feel. But sometimes feels like it's my rib cage and other times it's in my lower breast. 

Dear Amy, just wanted to say that I recently went to the doctor's to check out the pain I have been having in my right breast, which is something in my rib cage, lower breast, side of breat, upper qudrant, armpit, you name it. I was relieved when they told me that things look fine from both mammo and ultrasound. My doctor was also quite disinterested in breast pain as a symptom to cancer. Hope this helps and I urge you to make an appointment to get it checked out if you are worried. Genuinely. As it really put your mind at ease and stress is not good for both mind and body. Big hugs. 

Thank you for your quick reply! I've had the same with my doctor and been to the breast clinic and they said the same, I'm going to ask for an ultrasound just to be sure. Thanks so much xx

Did you get any further answers? I'm in similar situation to you, other than I did feel a lump. Seen Dr and breast specialist and had scan all say just lumpy breast tissue and nothing sinister, but the pain continues just in left breast. 
 

Waiting for a telephone app with GP (soonest they could offer was 2 weeks away). Just sick of feeling so worried and also the pain. 
 

hope you're feeling better now x

That's what they've said to me also, my pain has started going under my arm and to my back so they think it could be musculoskeletal and touching a nerve too. Seeing the physiotherapist next week for an assessment. Hope you get yours sorted too x

Exactly same, my pain is in my shoulder and ribs. Makes you frightened especially when you google which is my worst habit. I haven't been offered physio, but I'm going to a private physio tonight so fingers crossed. Hope you get sorted and thank you for replying xxx

Hi 

I've only just joined this chat.

Reading these chats sounds so much like me. I have been going back and forth the doctors and hospitals for 18months with ongoing symptoms. I've had pains in my breast, and armpits, green dishcharge from a reoccurring spot on my nipple. But I've had all the tests going but nobody can find anything wrong.  It's so worrying I'm in pain everyday it doesn't go away. I just don't know what the next step is... any advice or guidance would be very much appreciated.

Hi. I am feeling exactly the same. Had my second baby in November. For 6 months I've had pain in my left breast. It literally only takes a tap and it hurts. It itches and I feel the skin at the top of my breast is so so sore like a sunburn type of pain. I've been to the breast clinic twice. I had a lump in my armpit same side which turned out to be a cyst and then also had discharge from same breast and nipple. Ultrasound found nothing but they did not ultrasound the full breast. Been applying cream for area but nothing helping. I am a nurse so my mind has gone into overdrive where I am now experiencing other symptoms and linking it altogether! It's awful, the stress and worry. My shoulder is quite sore too. Not sure if this is from lifting a pram in and out of the car most day. Just so stressed, sick of worrying, sending love to anyone experiencing this and who have had a diagnosis
