Hi there I’m looking for advice on what I should do next? over the last couple of months I have had discomfort in my clavicle/ right shoulder. I have always slept on my right side and this is now impossible. I mentioned the pain to my chiropractor who suggested it was the start of a frozen shoulder? She has done some work on it however the pain persists and has got worse (she usually cures my joint pains)! I now have pain in my right breast, in my axilla, down my arm and round the back into my shoulder blade. I should add that 18months ago i was told i had multiple “little” cysts in my right breast following a mammogram and ultrasound after finding a lump in my breast back then and I am aware of a “lump” and not sure if I can feel one under my arm aswell? Is it possible these cysts are causing the discomfort or could it be muscular? Not sure if i should go to doctors? I was hoping the chiro would cure me? Any advice would be much appreciated thanks in advance

Hi Sheila42
When I found my breast lump I also had pain, swelling and tingling down my right arm which would spread into two of my fingers. This was also associated with neck pain and clavicular pain. On examination I was found to have a right breast lump and a pretty large axillary node. MRI revealed theat the node was pressing on the brachial plexus in my axilla and causing the symptoms. It is two months on since you wrote in so I am hoping that you have been to your GP to get this checked out. I would be grateful if you could and let me know how you got on or if the symptoms have gone. Best wishes.
Hi there,
Get it checked out - I suffered with breast pain, pain in my armpit, upper arm as far down as my elbow, muscular pain at the base of my shoulder blade as well as shoulder pain. I had the pain for months before I discovered a lump - I hadn’t even considered BC. I have just been diagnosed with grade 3 ductal BC - a fast growing little monkey! Get yourself checked out sooner rather than later, don’t ever feel as if you are wasting anyone’s time - I did and I delayed seeing my GP for weeks. Good luck , hope it all ends well. Xxxx
Hi iv had this pain in my shoulder in my armpit and breast. Been a few months now iv an appointment tomorrow with my Dr. . My daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 24 we were shocked so young… she’s now had it 3times … she’s had a mysectomy but it was found again in there… she’s 40 next week she’s been clear for 4yrs. But thanks for your advice I’ll get checked out… angie
Thanks very much not feeling too good today be glad once iv been to drs. Feel shattered and this pain and swelling getting the better of me. . Can’t get my bracelet on now or rings and my breast bone is so tender will let you know what my Dr says thanks for the quick reply much appreciated. .
I’m new to this forum. . Iv been to see my Dr she has sent me to see a breast specialist asap. . She couldn’t find a lump so I thought I wouldn’t need to see anyone ? I thought it was frozen shoulder or arthritis she ruled it out. . Im seeing someone within 2 week .
