Burning sensation in right breast very scared

Hello everyone, 

im 11 days away from having my appointment at the breast clinic,I'm 35 and with no children.  The last 5 months I've had a burning/tingling sensation on my right breast, specifically in one area top right in line with my armpit. I've seen 5 doctors and they have all examined my breast and said they cannot feel anything, however when I'm home the pain and sensation is constantly their. I'm convinced I can feel a lump but it may just be a lymph node that I keep squeezing. I have a pain in my right shoulder blade and my legs have started aching and feeling so heavy. I'm constantly crying and anxious. No pain medication helps and nothing takes away the sensation. I'm convinced I have breast cancer and even more so convinced I've left it so long that it's now spread. My mum was diagnosed with womb cancer around the time this pain started and suffered a catastrophic stroke after surgery. I'm so stressed out and exhausted. I can deal with more heartache and I just want this to be okay. Has anyone else had these feelings in their breast? It's just the one breast! And underneath has severely sharp tissue pain.  Thank you in advance for any responses. All my love lil

  • I was wondering how you got on? I have a similar thing, like a burning sensation in the skin above my nipple, when I brush the skin lightly or the shower water hits it the whole nipple area is sore. It sometimes hurts when I move too. It started about 3 months ago. I've always had tender breasts but this is completely new. 

    Last month I saw my GP who examined me and was not concerned - said it was mastalgia and to come back if it didn't get any better which it hasn't. I'm 61 and long past menopause. I am waiting for a phone call appointment this morning but it's really worrying me sick. 

  • Hi, 

    I saw your post and it's the same for me. I'm 61 and have this burning, like sunburn pain, on the top part of my right breast above my nipple. It hurts when I touch it or even brush it with my arm etc. Having a breast scan on Saturday and I'm terrified. 
    have you any updates on yours? Hope you're  ok now. All these aches and pains we get after the menopause scare me like crazy. X

  • Hi, yes it is scary! Thankfully all was good nothing found. I had a mamogram which was all good, and then an ultrasound scan. She couldn't find anything and said it is mastalgia (unexplained pain).

    Last week I was at the gym doing the Pectoral machine (haven't been there through lockdown) and it twinged quite noticably, I wonder now if it's chest wall pain as it occured to me I ahd been doing a lot of press ups before it started - but knows!

    But I hope it all goes well on Saturday, let us know the outcome. Best wishes x 

  • Hi, 

    so glad to hear you have been given the all clear. 
    I'm trying to stay positive but at the moment I'm in a bubble of fear. 
    his long did your burning pain last? 
    I will let you know how I get on. It's a one stop appointment with a consultant too, so hopefully I will know exactly what it is.

  • I was exactly the same - terrified. I still have the pain, but it's not as noticable since I was given the all clear as I'm no longer worried about it.. Yes mine was the one stop too, and a very quick visit, saw the consultant first then the mamogram then the scan, it was the radiographer who did the scan told me all looked fine on both. x 

  • Ok thank you for replying. I'm in a bubble of complete fear atm. Sorry for all the questions. Xx

  • I absolutely understand, I felt exactly the same x
