I am just asking for some clarification. About a month ago I was sent for a a two week emergency referral due to breast and armpit pain (I have a family history of breast cancer). I should add I had a similar referral about 5 years ago and they were very thorough and I had an ultrasound, mammogram and examination.
This time I just had a mammogram and a very cursory examination which must have taken less than a minute and I was told there were no problems.
The pain has not stopped and recently I have now started having what I can only describe as a burning sensation in my breasts.
It has now occurred to me that I only got the first test - basic mammogram and not any ultrasound to double check any issue (I know an ultraound can pick up different things to a mammogram).
Please does anyone know if this is a sufficient emergency referral. I absolutely still do not feel right and still have the pain and now the burning too but I am unsure if what was done is enough. If it is thorough and I am fine I will just have to get on with the symptoms but I am just not sure that enough was done to see if there is an issue. Thank you for any advice.
