Hi, I don't have a diagnosis but I am so so worrried. It's taking over my life. I had intermittent right breast shooting pains and then some itching about 6-8 weeks ago. The pains were more of a burning at times and my nipple got sore/itchy and dry as a result. I was prescribed a steroid cream with an oil based lotion: the steroid cream didn't help but it did clear up somewhat. So I stopped using them. Then around 2-weeks ago, it got itchy and unbearable again. Called doc who wants to try a stronger steroid but also swapped me to check for nipple thrush (waiting on results) I should mention I've had bloods taken and they're 'normal'. I feel like the nipple area looks pretty normal at times and others, it can look reddish with smaller spots or at times kinda wrinkly. I am terrified it's IBC. I get pains in my right shoulder blade, shoulder, flank and rib-cage and had several ultrasounds before Christmas but nothing flagged up in mh abdomen. I had H-Pylori too, which was treated successfully but I feel it's left me intolerant to certain foods; I'm feel some of my pains and ailments flare up when I've eaten dairy but don't want to get my hopes up. I previously trained weights and ran and was very active; always had issues with right side pain due to not stretching, pull muscles etc. I stopped everything in September - poor mental health. I don't know if some of my aches and pains are from being pretty inactive since then. I fear the worst - doctor said next step would be a specialist but she hasn't even looked at my boob yet. So sorry  I'm just really not coping. I keep thinking all my other aches and pains mean it's spreading through my body. I genuinely can't cope with this at all.
