Hello Scorpiokat5

I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some breast pain and lumps again after only being treated for breast cysts in December. It sounds as if things are quite uncomfortable for you at the moment and I can understand that you may be feeling worried and frustrated. 

I can see from a previous post of yours that you've had problems with breast lumps previously. It can help to keep in mind that the majority of women who are seen at breast clinic are not diagnosed with cancer. 

Hopefully, your appointment on the 2nd March will bring some reassurance and answers. Do speak to your GP or local pharmacist about the pain as they will be able to give you some advice about managing pain relief. 

I hope that things settle and improve for you soon. 

Best wishes,

Hi [@Scorpiokat5]‍ 

The waiting around is the worse thing when you just want answers now, it scares you when you know something is going on, google doesn't help and noone seems to have answers, I am also waiting for an appointment at the breast Clinic, mine is on Monday.

From GP to breast cinic it is standard to have no more than a two week wait for an appointment. I have been a few times now and it doesn't getting easier knowing there is no gaurantee you will get answers on that day, a lot of the time you do.

I have had a Cyst removed on my right plus a firbroadenoma found at the same time in my right, plus cancer in my left and now going back as I have a potential cyst in my left, the pain I have at the moment in my left is like a buring pain with shooting pains occasional plus pain in my shoulder blade and neck. I am finding the days going by slowly and I just want to hear that it is a cyst, but waiting!! not fun at all. I find I look on google to see if anyone else has put in same searches as me, and find myself reading all these articles which is of no help and just scares you.

There is no easy fix but sitting around and twiddling your thumbs, not the thing you want to hear but everyone waiting for an appointment no doubt is feeling the same...

Omg mines started with burning on left breast, shoulder, arm, neck, and swollen left breasts, and armpit tender, lumps were nodes are and g. P felt 3 lumps left breast and have found them in my right breast but it's into chest wall on antibiotics as got breast infection, symptomatic pain can't spell right brain is  overloaded right arm pain yesterday was burning, aching n I had mammory gland cyst removed getting pain same area again

The lump I have on my left is by the breast bone too, it is quite large and have several tender spots, I haven't seen a GP to have it looked at as I am already under the care of the breast team I just phoned them up and was sent an appointment. The referred pain in my neck and shoulder pain is actually most annoying me right now as it is hard to get comfy at night and I am already sleeping poorly. Last night I got about an hours sleep so feeling shattered. Last night I was almost getting palpitations (they felt like palpitations but it was right in the area of the lump so who knows) it could have just been my lump pulsating!

I'm just working myself up and feeling every little niggle is something worse, it is difficult to express that to someone who isn't going through it as they look at you like your mad or your over reacting but when it is you feeling it, it is very real and very scary..

My last Cyst was in my right and felt different to this one, I'm just going with pain is good..... less to worry about when it's pain and a cyst can be drained there and then.

I am same can't lye on left side coz of shoulder, arm pain then breast is uncomfy my cyst Wass tissue in still over 14 months still get pain in area 2nd march can't come quick enough 

Please come back and update when you do get news, and if you want to let off steam or rant or talk please feel free to message me. x

Will do thank you
