Hello, 

I am posting in here because I'm really scared, I have major health anxiety and I can't think rationally. I am seeing a doctor in a weeks time however my mind is in overdrive whilst I wait. 
I wondered if anyone had any advice or have faced a similar experience to me. I think it will help me not drive myself mad while I wait to see a doctor. 
Two years ago I was disagnosed with cyclic/non-cyclic breast pain- it was one of these but can't remember the specific one. In the past two years I've seen a couple of doctors and spoken to doctors over the telephone. The pain has been on and off over the two years. I've had it months at a time with the occasional couple of weeks break. When I do have it, it's been very life limiting. I wear a bra constantly because the pain is unbearable without, nothing seems to ease the pain, the only thing that seems to ease the pain slightly is really strong pain killers like naproxen. I struggle to sleep at night due to the pain and everytime I get the pain it sends my brain into overdrive. I'm always thinking what if the doctors have made a mistake and not picked up on something and were just quick to wave me out of the door. I also fear each time I have the pain that it's something serious this time. A lot of my symptoms are very similar to the symptoms that come up on the internet for breast cancer so I get scared that I won't be able to tell the difference. 
Although I get fearful and the pain has been unbearable sometimes, it's only recently that I've been completely taken over by fear. Normally the pain comes and goes with my menstrual cycle and is just in one breast however in the past few weeks I've had pain in my armpit as well and this doesn't go away, when I feel my armpit it feels swollen and sore and extremely tender (I've not had this before) I've also noticed a foul smell coming from that armpit and not the other. I'm really scared because all the times ive had pain I've never had this. 
I've also had some other symptoms as well such as discharge, swelling, flaky skin on my breast (I'm not sure if this is because of lack of hygiene as I wear a bra 24 hours a day because without it is agony) 

I'm sorry for the rambly post, there is a lot on there and I've waffled on loads. I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with breast pain and changes and can give me some advice or shine some light on whether it's a common side effect of cyclic/ non- cyclic pain. I could really do with some rational explanation whilst I wait to see a doctor otherwise I'm going to go crazy with fear.
