Hi all,
for a few months I noticed breasts started to hurt in line with ovulation, so I wasn't too worried. Then a few weeks ago the pain became pretty severe, I even changed my bras as thought this could be causing it (had some new ones which felt a bit tight).
Then the pain got very intense on the left side and I went to see the GP. Neither the GP or myself could feel any lumps whatsoever, but she asked me to wait a week with neurofen/paracetamol and return. This weekend I ended up in A&E - woke up with raging pain and felt sick, wretching and shaking. It could be that I had a reaction to the neurofen I took for the pain, but I was pretty scared. It all seem to calm down by the time I left A&E.
The lovely A&E doctor took a chest X-ray, did a breast exam (could also feel no lumps) and blood tests and reassured me that it was probably hormonal/muscular as the blood tests did not indicate anything "untoward".
I am going back to the GP today to get a referral to a breast clinic, but I am still feeling panicked because this horrible pain will not go away. Just looking for some reassurance please....
