Breast cancer??

Hi, I hope I am not bothering anyone here.

I am just worried. I am on a minipill, and have been for 2 years, never really dealt with any symptoms and if I had any, they went away very quickly. However, i have been having excruciating breast pain in my left breast in 2 specific spots, so much so I can't even touch it or move or lay on that side. I have not managed to check my breast yet as the pain is so bad when I touch it.
My breast does hold itself slightly differently than before and is a little swollen (it goes down but can sometimes swell again).

 

Should I be worried? I am very confused and in so much pain. I don't think it is mastitis as I am not pregnant or breastfeeding. I also do not think it is hormones as I have never dealt with this in such a specific place. 

 

Thoughts? Thank you so much.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some breast pain at the moment. You don't mention if you've spoken to your GP surgery about this so I would encourage you to call them tomorrow. It is possible to have an infection or mastitis without pregnancy or breastfeeding but hopefully whatever is causing this pain can be resolved easily. 

    I hope that you get this sorted soon. 

    Best wishes,
