Achy pain down the left arm and severe pains in my breasts

Hi, I’m a 17 year old girl. 

I have been to the doctors recently and they have referred me to the breast clinic. I have severe pains in my breasts along with 2 lumps in my left breast. On the odd occasion I have achy pains down my arms. I am terrified. I also have a rash on my Nipple along with little spots, they itch all the time. 

  • Hi Courtneykeys and welcome to the forum. 
    I'm sorry to hear that you've been referred to the hospital. I'm sure it's a very worrying time for you. 

    As you've found these lumps in your breast your GP has done the right thing by arranging for you to be seen by a specialist at the breast clinic. But it's really important to remember that the large marjority of people who are seen at the clinic aren't diagnosed with cancer. There could be any number of reasons for your symptoms and hopefully the specialist will be able to set you on the right road to getting things sorted quickly. 

    If it would help you to talk to one of our nurses then give them a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040 (freephone number), Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
