To start I have had some pains down my right arm for a while now, I assumed it was just blood pressure and no big deal. The past two weeks or so I have had pain in my right shoulder and back. About 3 days ago I developed a red/pink spot next to my nipple on my right breast. It’s been itchy, my nipple has also been itchy with some darkening (pores?) I have also had a small amount of discharge that is yellow and thick like coulostrum. (But only if I squeeze) My youngest child is 4. My tubes are tied and burnt so I’m not pregnant. Also I am very close with my neice like a sister (we are both stay at home moms and we’re together alot) and her Youngest just turned 2 months old and when she had him all my symptoms flaired up… I joked that I was lactating from her hormones rubbing off on me… At this point I don’t think it’s funny and Google is a scary place. I have an appointment tomorrow. But to be honest I’m terrified and would love any advice.
Hi Lyndy.,your symptoms very probably have a non sinister explanation and your GP will probably be able to re-assure you tomorrow .I have learnt myself that googling is a very dangerous thing ,you will bring up all sorts of horrible scary facts that don’t relate to your individual circumstances .The middle of the night is the worst time as your fears really get the better of you dont they.Hopefully by tomorrow evening you will feel much better.Jill.
Thankyou… My OB thinks it’s eczema, I do have a history of eczema, I’ve just never had it on my breast before. She did schedule an ultrasound just to be on the safe side. It is more dry and not nearly as itchy now so I do feel much better. Thankyou
Good ,fingers crossed that ultrasound puts your mind completely at rest .
