Pain in right breast spread to armpit and down arm.

Hi just looking to see if anyone has anything similar to what I am experiencing and what your outcome was? 
 

I started getting breast pain a week before my first period after having the copper coil. It then was constant only in the right breast. I went to the doctors who told me I had to wait for a second period and if the pain was still there they would then refer me for a ' reassurance scan ' 

Had my second period and the pain still then everyday still only in the right breast. Now it has also spread into my armpit like a sore sensation and down my arm. I've been referred was told every referral is treated as urgent and I would get a call and be seen in 2-4 weeks as they are a bit behind with covid. 
 

was sent a message by my gp which said if no call in 5 days contact them. Contacted them yesterday to be told I could be waiting 30 days just for a phone call and not only am I in pain everyday but the message my gp sent saying ' you have been referred as you have symptoms of cancer ' has made my anxiety even worse. 

The pain started at the top of my breast in one spot and but now it's more around the sides of the breast sore to press on and shoots into my armpit. To me it feels quite lumpy also. I'm so scared somthing is wrong and I have been left 7 weeks already and could have to wait another 4-6 weeks to be seen! 
 

sorry for such the long post but if anyone has had anything  similar would be grateful to here your stories! 
 

 

  • Hello Soph 

    Ove been in the same situation 3 and half month ago....

    I was lost completely, exactly me right breast pain in one spot small spot for a while, and than started around and both arms sometimes, but the pain on the breast remained.. I went to specialist on breast clinic , and Dr did examination and says that he like kid of lumpy but he says that can befrom breast tendernes or sometthing cant remember, so I had mammogram and ultrasound both, was all clear, , Dr told me not to have spicy food too much , no coffe , things like that, also that I could have some evening promrose oil from holland &barret. 
     

    Best wishes for you xx

  • Thanks for your reply! The pain today has just been awful really sore feeling. Hoping I get a call soon for my scan as the waiting around is making me feel so nervous. I'm hoping it's nothing sinister but I just have a horrible gut feeling.
