Breast Pain

I have been suffering with breast pain since the beginning of the year. I’ve seen 3 doctors now and none could feel a lump. On the 3rd time seeing the doctor he has referred me to the breast clinic. I had my appointment through and it’s next Thursday. He said because it’s been going on for the time that it has he can refer me. It’s worrying me sick and it’s getting me down. I’m so scared. It’s just constantly there. A heavy painful feeling in just my left breast. It’s hard to explain the pain. The last time I saw a doctor he said he couldn’t feel a lump but could feel lumpyness but he didn’t seem concerned. I’m only 21 so it’s just a lot to deal with and it’s constantly on my mind. 

 

Im just worried sick :( 

  • I'm in a similar situation as you, I noticed dimpling on my breast two weeks ago, went to the doctor and she said she can feel 'something's underneath. I've been referred for an ultrasound. Since noticing it, I've been getting pain in my breast. I'm also worried sick and it's all I can think about, I'm expecting the worst even though all I hear is people telling me I'm fine! I'm only 25 and these last two weeks have been a real rollercoaster 

  • I saw your post earlier and thought the same, that we are in a similar situation. Im only 21 too and every one is telling me I will be fine, but what if somethings wrong. I feel like there is something wrong, I can’t stop thinking about it. 

  • I've gotten through the last two weeks by telling myself that worrying isn't going to change the outcome but it doesnt take away the worry. I managed to push it to the back of my mind but now my appointment is only two days away, it's all I can think about. I've convinced myself it's going to be bad news, think it's my way of coping with it. I hope your appointment comes around quick and you get good news! My fingers are crossed for you! 

  • Hey, a little bit of hope for you. I've just had my scan and it was clear, he said it was an empty fat pocket. I asked about the pain I had, he said it could have been stress and worry. Try to keep your mind occupied until your appointment and keep your head up. Dont stress yourself out too much until you know what your dealing with 

  • That’s great news for you :) I’ve had my appointment today at the breast clinic, it only got to the first stage and she was happy with how my left breast felt. She did a very thorough examination and said they both felt normal and looked fine, she said the pain is more than likely hormonal. There is still part of me that is worrying in case there is still something deep down but I need to try and forget about it now and be reassured that she was a breast specialist from the breast clinic and knows what to look for and knows what she is talking about. 

     

    She did a very thorough deep examination and had a good feel around.
