Help me find a bra

I'm fed up. I've lost a lot of weight (health), am 42 and my breast a droopy and none of my bras fit me.
Last month before my period my breasts started really hurting especially around the nipples. This month, I've also had pain which prompted me to breast check. Went to GP yesterday who has referred me to a clinic as possibly lump in one. Since yesterday. I've been getting stabbing pains in that breast top, side near the armpit. I've been having them most of the night until now. Any ideas on that please?
I'm not sexually active and periods are ok.

I usually wear underwired bras. I don't have a big chest but the last few months has seen me lose weight up there as well. All my bras have a gap at the top now but some feel tight and the underwires get all out of shape quickly.

I'm thinking about going over to sports bras but I really like to feel the support.

Start with the Reddit abrathatfits calculator, here, to see what size you should be wearing then go on to the wiki here to work out your shape. Then go to somewhere like John Lewis and try on. Once you know what fits it's off to eBay or Vinted, where people sell new bras they bought and didn't return in time.
