I am beside myself with worry
a few weeks ago I noticed my arm and my muscles at the top of my left breast were very sore. Being a cleaner, I thought I’d just pulled some muscles. I gave it a couple of weeks just in case before I saw my doc. He reckoned I’d pulled muscles between my ribs and gave me tablets. It didn’t help.
i went to a female doc and asked for a second opinion. Had I missed a lump or something in my breasts? She had a feel and could feel a thickening and also a nodule. It was hard to feel unless I lay down. She decided to wait until after my period to see if it settled down. I was due to see her in two weeks but just can’t wait anymore so have now brought it forward a week to this Friday.
so the symptoms I now have
a soreness in my upper left breast. A tenderness under my collar bone on the same side. Sometimes between my breast and armpit is sore. Sometime my arm is sore and feels like it’s hot. I’m tired a lot
i am, a worrier. So there’s some other things that are bugging me. I’ve had an itch on the left side (although I think I might be imagining it after reading about it). I do feel ill and slightly feverish - although I am always running about as I’m a cleaner. Took my temp with a thermoscan and my temp is at the very top of the range. There’s no orange peel, dimpling, no redness and no lumps as such. My left boob is slightly bigger than my right so I’m not sure if there’s swelling.
i am so worried. I have no family where I live, so feel very alone. My hubby says I worry too much and of course I don’t want to mention it to my two teenage daughters. Can anyone offer me any words of advice or help. Thank you
