Bad pain in side of breast no lump

Last few days I've had pain in the side of my left breast kind of near my armpit spreading all the way down to near my nipple.

Painkillers won't touch it at all, I can't find a lump or anything It just feels different I don't know how to explain it.

Planning on visiting the doctors when I get a day off next week (hoping I can hold out this pain until then) Just to add some background I'm 27 and have a family history of breast cancer so I'm petrified!!

Also I've had 2 kids and the pain that I'm feeling feels a hell of alot similar to mastitis!!!

Has anyone had this? I'm struggling to find answers on the net at all.

Hi Vickilou,
It's always a tad scary when things like this happen but you're doing the right thing by going to your doctors as they will be able to examine you and let you know if your symptoms are any cause for concern.
We have a lot of members on the forum that have been in similar situations who will understand what you're going through at the moment so hopefully you'll hear from some of them soon.
Fingers crossed everything will be o.k Vickilou.
Kind regards,

I did, it was pain due to menstruation, as I'm. On the mini pill I don't get periods often so it was to do with that. I still get that pain regularly and check myself but feel much less worried than before.

This is interesting, I didn't think mind was related to my periods because I get it all the time but it's particularly bad right now and I'm two weeks late on my period hope it comes soon and the pain reduces. Is yours one sided still? Glad your relieved xxx
