I think ive found a breast lump!

[pinky36]

Over the last week, ive had tender breasts, which i thought were because i was pregnant! I wasn't, my period came on sunday! But ive noticed that when going up and down stairs my left breast hurt, so yesterday i started to have a feel about as you do, and i found an area that felt harder than anywhere else felt very tender to touch. It feels like a bruise, but theres no bruise on my skin, it just hurts inside!

Can anyone advise me, and is it worth bothering the doctor about!

Yes you should definitely get it checked out! At the same time don't worry unduly but you should definitely see your GP I think.

ok dont panic, normally bad things dont hurt, tis possible its all hormone related, or u have lay on it funny, theres no point going the doc yet as she will tell u to wait untill a week or 2 after your period, so i suggest u montor what it feels like now, then check again in a week or 2, if its still the same then go the docs

DEfinitely worth showing the doc.

Tis probably nothing...pain is a good sign in that it rarely means cancer.
Phone the surgery now and make the appt.

i should tell u why my advice it what it is, a few years ago i founf a weird lumpy part in my boob, went the docs and she wanted to wait till a while after my period because boobs can swell and get lumpy when your dueon or on, they dont go back to normal til after your period

Thanks everyone, i think i'll give it a week or 2 to settle before i book in and see the GP!

dont keep poking it though, coz u will make it feel worse
