Hello, iv been stalking this forum for a little while now and decided to create my own post for some advise. 
 

Iv had burning pain in the left side of my left breast for about 8 weeks. That side is also swollen and tender. I then found a swollen area in my breast which felt harder then normal breast tissue about the size of a pea. I can feel it only in certain positions and not lying down. My nipple has also started to change shape and become darker then the other one and more lumpy? I had been putting off going to the doctor as I was worried about being over dramatic and I find the whole "it's just your hormones" excuse really frustrating. Any way bit the bullet as I have been really worried and spoke to gp on the phone very reassuring and helpful and booked me in with a junior doc and was told everything would be re checked by normal doc.
 

Went today and have just been told it's my hormones and if I still have issues in 4 weeks to go back.... she couldn't feel the area I was worried about but said my breast did look swollen on that side... but as I'm 28 and no history she's not worried at all... to just take paracetamol and get on with it pretty much. 
 

Did any one have a "lump" the doctor couldn't feel? Did it get better or did you get a referral to the breast clinic?  I feel a bit crazy because I'm sure I can feel the difference in my breast and this "lump" but the doctor couldn't feel it. 
 

feeling very worried still and puts me off going back in 4 weeks if I still have issues :(
