Hi 

How did you get on with the burning issue in your breast? as i have now started experiencing the same thing, in the same place in the right breast.

It is making me very anxious. 

Many thanks  

Hi there, I posted the post directly above your back in June. I attended the breast clinic and had a mammogram and an ultrasound. Before those I saw a breast surgeon who examined my breast and  assured me staraight away that it was all hormone related. Even though I'd spent a week ' googling' which led me to be convinced I had something serious. Because I'm 62 I didnt even realise ( further confirmed  by Dr Google) that I could even get hormone fluctuations as I'm way past the menopause. So it just shows you how we can make ourselves ill with worry. Please try not to worry, the consultant says pain is not a common symptom of breast cancer, you'd more likely have other visual symptoms too. 
I hope this helps

Hey everyone

I had been having left breast discomfort just before my period for around three months but it always went away once my period arrived. Same thing happened this month but I was so fed up I examined it this time and discovered quite a large lump. I had had a routine mammogram a few months before but Panic still set in and I got an appointment with my GP straight away. She was certain in was a cyst and referred me to the breast clinic. Between my GP appt and the clinic, my family all tested positive for covid and I had to wait four weeks in the end before getting to the clinic. They were through longest four weeks of my life. I had a burning sensation/pain in my breast, armpit and my side/back where my bra stamp sits and convinced I had something sinister. It turns out it was a cyst. I had an examination, an ultrasound and the doctor drained it there and then too. The lump has gone but the burning sensation/pains are still there. I asked the doc if the cyst could cause them and he replied no, its hormonal. I was given the all clear but still a bit concerned as to why the burning etc is still there...very distracting! I'm 42 and putting it down to Peri menopause. 

I will contact her again to see if she can prescribe something but i wanted to share so some one can maybe  get a little piece of mind from my experience.

I hope you all get good news too.

Hi Pepper

only this week my daughter has had exactly the same thing as me and the breast clinic also diagnosed as it being due to hormones. The breast consultant had advised she takes Evening primrose oil capsules for the burning type pain. I hope this helps and you get relief from the pain soon.

Thanks Julia, I will certainly pick some up. Thank you for responding.

Thank you- all of you for keeping us all updated. I've been having breast pain in my right brest for about 6 months. So much so, I'd flinch when anyone would come near me incase they knocked it. Around 5 weeks ago was a particularly bad day and when I took my bra off my boob felt like it would explode. I rubbed it and low and behold I felt a lump! I do however have quite bumpy boobies but this one felt different. I buried it and didn't touch it again hoping it would go away. I busied myself in my new job as a cancer nurse specialist and kinda managed to forget about it although the pain remained. The last 4 days I've had a prolific burning pain which I can constantly feel and i am constantly conscious of it. I took a leaf out of my own book and finally decided to make an appointment with my GP. they were amazing and seen me immediately there and then. She did a breast exam and to my absolute disappointment she also felt the lump and due to the burning pain and lump has done an urgent referral for me to breast clinic. This was yesterday so as you all can imagine I'm scared stiff now waiting for this appointment but you lovely ladies sharing your stories has settled my mind a little. I'm praying that this also turns out to be something less scary than what my mind is thinking! But, the constant burning and pain kinda takes my mind back into a bad place again! I'm 36 with 2 little angels and I need to be a healthy mummy for them! Everything crossed I get seen quickly. Love to you all xxx

Hi, 

Reading your post was just like reading mine (scroll up) I had this very same problem back in 2021. I too felt a lump and knew it was where the pain was radiating from. Continuous burning in my right breast. My Gp also felt the lump and I was refered for a scan on the two week path. I was convinced it was something serious due to being older, 61,and therefore not hormonal changes due to periods etc and I felt sick with worry. I had the scan and the breast surgeon reassured me that it was infact hormonal. Since then my daughter 34 has also had the same problem and she too was extremely worried and anxious. Hers too was referred to hospital on the two week path. Her scan also showed hormonal changes to the breast. I understand how worried you must be, the pain is awful! Like really bad sunburn  on the inside and when I leaned against anything it was even worse. Try not to worry, and fingers crossed your scan is all ok x
P.S, I'm still get it now , every now and again , and it lasts for a few days.
