Hi, I didn't think I'd be back here again but here I am. A year ago, I had a ton of biopsies done for a lump in my right breast which turned out to be nothing. Since then, I quit birth control and started having a lot of breast-related symptoms but they've been getting better.
Suddenly, I started developing nerve pain on my left shoulder and arm. On a scale of 1-10, the pain a 3.5, but ever since the first cancer scare - I've been hyper aware of my body. Because of the pain, I have been self-massaging and that's when I discovered a small lump above my collarbone.
I can only feel it if I push my shoulders back and tilt my neck a little. The location of it is worrying me, and I don't know if it's always been there (because I have another swollen lymph node from 20 years ago that's still there), or if it's associated with my shoulder pain.
It's been three weeks since the pain started but I have no idea when the node appeared. I haven't been sick in a while, so I don't think it's that. The only thing I do have is a ganglion cyst on the same side as my shoulder pain and swollen node.
I think I will go to a doctor soon and get myself biopsied again, but til then, I was hoping for some words of advice on this matter.
I'm 26, female. Just feeling so down. The breast lump sent me into a state of paranoia for months, and before I had time to recover, this happened... At this point I just want answer. A year of this with no answers and more symptoms.
