Worried!!

I found a lump in left breast a week ago, went to gp and she could feel it too, I’m now feeling a sharp burning pain in my breast if I walk fast or run. Due at hospital for tests next Thursday 23 June. Has anyone else felt pain and should I be worried? Can’t wait for next week to find out x

Just an update, been back to clinic for another ultrasound and 2nd dr could also feel lump, nothing showing on ultra sound again. I’m 44 yrs old and I can feel this lump in my breast my breast feels heavy and just not right. The aches and pains I’m getting are coming straight from the lump area and I just can’t stop thinking about it and worrying. The dr says it’s just normal breast pain but why is it coming from this one lump. The aches and pain are there every day. Should I still be worrying or should I try and forget? I’m normally fit and well and not one for running to the Drs with the slightest thing. 

Thanks for taking the time to read.
