Hi im new to this and would just like a bit advice as i am a bit worried,
For the past week and a half i have had a tingling sensation in my left breast
when it tingles my nipple goes really hard to the point of hurting the tingle runs down
From under my arm to my nipple and is tender there too .
I have also had some burning sensation and a feeling that my breast is being squeezed
This has only happened twice. But the tingle happens at least once every 10 mins sometimes more.
When I was 15 I had a lump removed from my left breast which was benign.
Any help would be greatly recieved .
If you are worried you need to go to your gp and get it checked out, if it’s nothing they will be able to put your mind at rest and if something that needs further investigation they’ll refer you.
Dear lotty
As Zuzy has said we would always advise that you go to your GP if you have any concerns.
You could talk this over with someone on our Helpline. They will be able to offer you some practical information and emotional support. The opening times are 9-5 on weekdays and 10-2 on Saturdays. The number is 0808 800 6000.

Hi thank you for the advice i went to see my doctor she didnt really exan me
And said it sounds like nerve damage but im not convinced
So will go back next week and see another doc
do you think it s
ounds like cancer sympoms
Im 38 years old and have 3 children there is no family history of bc
But my uncle died of colon cancer and my nana with cervical cancer
Sorry to be a pain and thank you in advance
Hi Lotty
Rest assured, you are NOT a pain. Far from it. I can’t answer your question about whether your symptoms sound like cancer, but I can say that you should definitely see a different doctor and try to get a referal. Even if it is only to put your mind at rest. I’m not sure, but i don’t think the other cancers in your family would put you at risk of breast cancer.
As janet advised, call the free helpline - talking to someone on the 'phone might help your wories.
Sending (((big hugs)))

Hi Lotty, I agree with poemsgalore- you def need to go back and push for a referral- yes it is hopefully nothing sinister but you need to know that for sure. Otherwise you will worry yourself stupid xx
