Hi thanks for reply I’ve been back to gp who can me stronger painrelief and went in to the clinic as work at the hospital but was told to just wait for my appointment… Just getting me more nervous as when first noticed it in December it was only an achy feeling but now the pains spread and a lot worse than what it was just can’t get comfy as it’s in waves not a constant pain when it comes ive tried wearing sports bra and going bra less but feels like my nipple is on fire x
