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 know just how you feel.  I too have exactly what you have described but in my left breast near the cleavage.  This has been since early April 2020.   I spoke with my Dr who didn't seem to concerned he thought it was something to do with the nerve endings but offered no explanation as to what could be causing it and he prescribed some cream which was useless.  My mom has given me something called  Voltarol Emulgel (it contains diclofenac) I don't know if it can be bought over the counter but it really does help with the pain and works in minutes.    I also have the shoulder blade pain but left side.  I originally had the same sensation in my left armpit and going down that side but that seems to have mostly subsided.  I don't know if it's to do with the menopause as I'm 51 and not had a period for 12 months now.  I feel like crying sometimes as the pain is relentless unless I use the gel or take ibuprofen although this only lasts for a couple of hours before it returns.  
     

    ive just read up on these diagnoses Mastalgia, Mamalgia & Mastodynia.  The first I feel really relates to my symptoms 

  • Hiya I have exactly the same as you ' left breast armpit  shoulder blade '   I've had this for 3 days not been to doctors yet '  I'm currently on HRT  treatment so I was thinking maybe that is the reason I'm feeling this discomfort '  but this as helped to see all the comments & to see I'm not alone but it as scared me a bit  because it makes you think of the big C'
