Hi
I went to the Dr 3 weeks ago with swelling and pain from my left armpit into my left breast and through to my left shoulder blade. The Dr examined me and confirmed lumpy swellings but said she felt the were nodular and probably ok. I was referred to the breast clinic and the Dr gave me antibiotics incase it was infection related ( I have 15 year old breast implants ) and told to call back if I felt worsening symptoms, further growth . I then had pins and needles / numbness in the left affected area and a new lump on my right breast bone under the implant that isn't mobile. When I called the gp a nurse called to say the dr was busy but informed her that the referral has been done so no point seeing me again. I initially attended the Gp in the 30th of March, it's now the 21st of April. Is it normal to wait this long with no contact even to advise of a later appointment date?
I am a nurse so I understand the clinical symptoms but I'm unsure if it's normal to wait this long.
Thanks in advance
N
