Hi 2 years ago i went for mamo as had a lumpy bit in right breast. had benign breast disease for 20 years and had 18 monthly mamos, there was an immense itchy feeling behind nipple-nothing to see just incredible itchy inside feeling. told mamo was ok but to ask gp for an ultra sound if it remained. Nipple shut had little pull in look in centre. however Gp sent me to breast clinic but they wouldn’t ultra sound it as i had mamo that was ok. so now told cos 50 last year i have to wait 2 years to have my private mamo-due late summer. worried cos had a lot of pelvic pain recently -been told its fibroids by ultra sound. Got a lot of pain low back and hip very bad and down leg occasionally . Can feel lumpy bits under arm -down the side of it at top too. not sure if its all hormonal as no periods now for 17 months. now got a painful finger and shoulder. i am putting it altogether and worrying even more-esp cos ia have to wait few more months for mamo-crazy when i could have one very year before 50! How would it feel if it had been something bad and it had spread to bones. anyone else have a funny itchy feeling? the lumpy bit feel slat like a penny but has def grown over past 3 years.

PS get a lot of nausea and tired a lot-could be meno Gp said causing this.can feel tiny lump on same side in neck-but not got bigger over year thank goodness.
When my sister went through the menopause, she had aches and pains all over her body - they kind of moved from one part to another, finger, knee, shoulder, back, hips. She is out the other side of meno now and doesn’t have them anymore.
Going by lots of posts I have read on here, you might need to be a bit on the “very” assertive side and ask to been seen again and request tests to put your mind at rest.
Can’t they test your blood for menopause these days?
Good luck and I hope it is all due to your hormones and nothing worse.
Best wishes
