Obv will go to doctor.
Started last night. Can def feel lump in underside of one breast. Is sore to touch.
Not feeding etc. on coil.

H suggested new sports bra might have left boob unsupported, inflammation etc

Any advice ?

God yes tender and sore when I poked it and fiddled with it (which was alot ). Like an achey, dragging sensation. And yes snippitysnipsnip - mine was cut out under local anaesthetic at the local hospital. All done v quickly - I remember being impressed at how organised it was. This was 6 years ago.

Saw GP, he referred me to hospital.
They scanned me and consultant told me it was a boob mouse. Booked a snippy.
Appointment came for the snippy, all done.
GP gave me a check up a week or two later to make sure all OK.

Bobs your uncle, fannys your aunt :)

I dont want a Breast MOUSE
It's def less painful today. Is prob periods

AnnaMosity · 19/06/2012 16:44

Am dreading the thought of a mammogram if it hurts normally, then how Ouchy will it be. ?

Pinot · 19/06/2012 16:46

Dont know re: mammogram, though my Mum said they hurt like buggery. My scan was just like when you're pregnant with a naice little wand and some cold jelly. No tit squashing!

Breast hamster better? ;)

I must have been lucky because I've had several mammograms over the years and they've never hurt me. A bit uncomfortable maybe, but nothing more than that. The bit I found the worst the first time was when they'd finished and I just let my boob drop off the plate. I'm a quick learner though, and the next time I had to have one I made sure I kept hold of it so it didn't flop.

AnnaMosity · 19/06/2012 17:30

PLATE?!!

noddyholder · 19/06/2012 17:33

Mine is def shingles I have the rash today. But I am still going to keep the appointment because also had swelling on left side although doc seems to think I may have caused irritation with hot tea tree bath! Breast mice are very common i think anna they are mobile and can be quite big. Please keep us updated thursday good luck x(I know you hate kisses)

AnnaMosity · 19/06/2012 17:35

Mice. Plates. Kisses. Sheesh.

AnnaMosity · 19/06/2012 17:36

noddyholder · 19/06/2012 17:41

It is so so painful and I have apparently made it worse with my heat treatments but just anything breast related freaks me out.
