fibroadenoma - scar tissue pain

Hi,

I had a fibroadenoma removed when I was 19, I am now 43 and have a lot of Breast pain in the area. I have had some pain over the years, not like this. In 2006 I went for 2 mammograms and an ultrasound scan they said it was just tight scar tissue.The pain is more intense now in the lower part of my breast where the op was, even goes up to my shoulder.
I went to the Dr on Monday who has referred me to a Breast Clinic. I am apprehensive now, this is why I am here.
I wondered if anyone has been to a Breast Clinic for this type of issue and what happens .
I think it may be inflamed scar tissue, we will see.
thanks, Rachel
