Bit of advice

I recently noticed one breast is more swollen than the other I am 27 years old also I have been having alot of pain in the same breast that is swollen when I self checked I can feel like branches of trees is all I can describe them as more on one side than the other my breast is giving me alot of pain all day and night I have been exhausted and having pain in my neck and shoulder blades I am waiting for my doctors appointment which isn't until the 12th March! My head is all over the place with worry and constantly checking I have also noticed this evening from my chest to armpit is swollen 

  • Thank you all so much for been so kind , I am ringing 111 tomorrow my doctors is horrendous my nan is making the complaint on my behalf , I will let you all know what happens I am becoming obsessed with self checking now ! I can't feel a lump just like branches but it's not the same in other breast I don't even know how to explain it but it swollen n the pain isn't just a ache neck feels stiff as well and shoulder blades it feels like I do when I have tonsillitis but I don't like aching and just general pain thank you all I'll update tomorrow xx

  • Oh we nans are wonderful! She will fight your corner and I am sure an appointment with the doctor will materialise.

    Good luck! Try and get some sleep now.

  • Thats exactly what we have to do at our G.P to get an appointment you have to go at 8am and stand outside and wait until they open the doors and reception staff offer you what ever appointments are left , its shocking sometimes you go and there can be up 10 people already waiting ,...... try not to worry because once you've been referred and get your hospital appointment things move really quickly they don't mess about like the G.P . does . just be firm with the G.P and tell him you want to be referred asap ..... it could be nothing but you are always best to get it checked ... good luck and make sure he checks everything,  shoulder, neck ,breast dont let him fob you off stand your ground.
