Ive had tenderness in my right arm pit for a good few months plus it feels quite hard and swollen its not pain as such just feels uncomfortable, the tenderness goes into the right side of my breast too. Ive also started to feel a dull ache around my collar bone that goes down my arm into my hand with some pins and needles. I cannot get comfy in bed whichever side i lay on. I am 51 and not had a period for about 15 months. Every so often i also have 24hr chills where my whole body aches i feel shivery and cold but my face and neck is hot and bright red almost like flu symptoms not hot flushes i have them and its very different. I feel tired all the time ive not lost weight or anything. In Feb i had 10 days in hospital with Hypersensitive pneumonia after a reaction to my parrot i was quite poorly and was on oxygen 24 hours a day and was on steroids and antibiotics. At first i thought it could be linked but now not so sure. Ive just been to see the nurse at my GP surgery she said it was cyclical breast pain and compared it to something she had, she did not examine me and just offered pain killers. I dont feel happy being compared to something similar to what she had and have no faith in my GP having previously told me i had nothing wrong with my lungs before ending up in hospital for 10 days gasping for breath.
