Hi everyone.
I’m new here today. Just looking for some advice of possible. Last October I noticed a large lump in my left breast and a visit to the breast clinic showed it as a cyst which was drained. A mammogram showed multiple small cysts on both breasts.
At the end of July this year I took terrible pain in my left breast, on left hand side of nipple. Went to gp who said a possible Infection so gave me antibiotics. I was back at breast clinic a few weeks ago who said again about multiple cysts. This was from the consultant having a feel. The pain is still there. Extreme pain that stops me in my tracks. The last few days I have noticed this pain is going into my armpit, down my arm and now even my ribs feel sore. Have been awake all night and feel like a tightness in my left breast. I feel like I don’t want to be a pest at docs as they have given me their opinion but I can’t shake this feeling. I have 2 daughters and worries me sick that it could be anything more serious and I let it go.
Sorry for rambling on.

You need to go back to your doctors and let them know what is happening, honestly you are not wasting their time, if you dont tell them about the other symptoms they will not be able to treat you, it is possible that you will need another perhaps stronger course of antibiotics.
The other thing is that it will give you peace of mind if you get it checked out otherwise you are only going to carry on worrying about it.
Sending you a hug

Thanks… just feel like maybe I’m over worrying but need help with the pain if nothing else
So i went back to the docs today. The weekend was horrendous… pain wise… she is referring me back to breast clinic as she doesn’t know what is causing the pain… she’s said she can’t feel any 1 defined lump but lots of what’s she think is nodular. Think she thinks I’m off my head. I’m constantly feeling sick and dizzy and NOT sure if it’s from the painkillers or lack of sleep and worry…
I’m probably not eating enough… as feel sick so much… gonna try and eat some dinner… don’t know where the sickness is coming from. It’s weird cos after she pressed today where I’m really sore I felt quite sick and dizzy…??
Hi there.
That’s absolutely awful the way she treated you.
I would go back amd see another doctor. As far as I know ANY breast pain or changes shoukd be checked out at a clinic.
I saw a doc last week who said "it sounds like you want there to be something wrong… yeah with 2 daughters that’s really what I want.
I feel like we know out own bodies. The consultant at last breast clinic has said I have multiple cysts and I think they are hoping I leave it at that. Fingers crossed that’s all it is but im gonna ask for another mammogram and aomeone suggested and mri. I can’t take this pain anymore… and feel like my nipple is being sandpapered ?
Hope you get it sorted. It is a very worrying time and if your like me tour torn between thinking the docs know best and it’s great news it’s not serious and then thinking what If I don’t push it and something is getting worse… keep in touch ket me know how you are xx
