In March I started getting left breast pain and armpit pain, I also get a dull ache down my arm. After many doctors phone calls they sent me for a breast examination and I had a ultrasound on my breath and armpit and they found nothing. The consultant said he thinks it's to do with my cycle and it was called cyclical and told me to take 1000mg of starflower oil for 1 month then 500mg for 2 months. I have done that and 1000mg helped a lot but 500mg the pain came back 40%. I still have the pain, its scared me most days making me depressed and worry something is seriously wrong. I have trouble sleeping with constant burning in my breast and armpit and dull ache down my arm, I also get pricking sensations as well. 

Do you have an update regarding this? Would be great to hear you're ok and maybe it will help some other ladies :)

Hi, thanks for messaging and reminding me to update! 

I had a check/screening at my hospital about 2 weeks ago now, the consultant could feel some slightly lumpy/enlarged tissue or nodes under my left breast but nothing sinister he thought. I had an ultrasound that same day and the doctor couldn't see anything worrying, but did mention that I had accessory/axillary breast tissue up into my armpit, which can apparently swell up and become tender, etc., maybe due to hormonal changes. 

So that's put my mind at ease for the most part! Obviously if there are any new symptoms then they'll get me back in but they couldn't feel or see anything so always good news! 

I am experiencing something similar too. I have GP app in the morning. What was the outcome with you? 

Glad all okay. This sounds very similar to me 

I have been feeling pain and discomfort in my left armpit and breast on and off for about a year. I had an appointment last week at the breast clinic where they examined my and did an ultrasound. They said they didn't find anything and it's to do with fibrocystic changes. 
 

still feeling really uncomfortable. I've started taking evening primrose oil to try and help. 

Hi

Just wondering if anybody found any answers to their problems mentioned here. 

Hello 

I'm still here, with an unchanged situation.  Still worrying and continuously thinking about what this is? I have had two incidences of nipple discharge ( tiny smears on underwear) about 4 weeks apart.  I went back to breast clinic and saw a different consultant who says nothing abnormal to feel all normal breast tissue.  Because my mammogram was Normal findings and my ultrasound revealed fibro type tissue with background of cysts that's what's causing the symptoms.  She said I could have this until menopause is done 
My GP still thinks my shoulder is causing the pain ?!? 
I just can't settle as it feels so uncomfortable ? 
 

how are you doing ?? Any changes for you ? 

My GP has suggested pregabalin which I know has a lot of side effects..... more physio, more worries, strange dreams, thinking about what if they've missed something, considering private appt (again) when will it go away ......

are you taking anti depressants ? If so do they help ? Gp suggested going back on progesterone only pill ( as I stopped taking it ) to see if that helps ..... I feel such a pain in the neck

I have had gabapentin which didn't help also naproxen and amitriptyline!!!

Did try antidepressants for 2 months but didn't stop feelings in breast and didn't want to be stuck on them.

Osteopath thought it was coming from my rib, I am not sure about that though. Nhs physio decided it wasn't musculoskeletal on the basis of a few phone calls . Private physio thought different. Therefore I have no definite answers which like you is so frustrating and worrying. Also all these private appts have been expensive to get me nowhere.

I know what you mean about thinking something has been missed and getting really worried. X x x
