Hi 

I am 28 years old and I have had left sided breast pain sice around October 11th 2019.

Pain has been there most of the time with the odd one/two days a week that I do not get pain.

It started with a sharp burning pain during a meeting which is why I remember the date so well.

I have been to 4 GPs and 2 a&e visits due to panic/central chest pain. I have a breast clinic examination on 22/1/2020 after basically asking for the referral myself. Ultrasound came back normal.

I have been told it is breast pain and I have to put up with it and to try NSAIDs which I have since Saturday 25/1/2020. Pain improved sognificatly and then today returned really badly with burning type of pain going into the arm pit i would say. Neck pain has been present around the whole time as well and on the left side.

I have been so worried about this - I have started counsuelling and CBT as has not been coping with the stress of the situation. I am getting married in 6 months time and all I think about is not making it to the wedding - i know to many this sounds pathetic but it is a very ugly battle I got myself into where the brain has cometely taken over me. I constantly look for things online. It is driving me mad.

I cannot feel lumps, but a heavy feeling, ache, burning type pain that is mainly on the left hand side. I had been on the progesterone only pill for 1.5 years and I stopped that 2 weeks ago. I had not had any cyclic breast pain as my period stopped completely.

I do not know what else to do. I booked myself a private scan for my breast but is it sensible to do so a week after having one? what is the result is the same? Where would that leave me to? 

I feel upset as I do not have a diagnosis  - I do not know how long this is gonna last. I do not know what should take me back to the doctors (who I seem to have *** off).

any advice is highly appreciated

many thanks

Rachel
