Breast pain

[nothingnothing77]

I have had breast pain in left breast for probably around 8 months, it used to be every couple of weeks, now it is constant of it is touched or brushed across, it is in once spot. I've had a feel and can't feel any lumps.

I also suffer with health anxiety so I don't know if I am being over the top to go to the doctors as I feel like when they see my name it's like "oh her again" so I really want to avoid the GP.

Worth noting, I do have costrocondritis, inflammation of the chest, rib cage and wonder if that part of the pain.

Could be, it you need to get it checked.
i used to have cyclical breast pain, so took a good quality evening primrose oil, and it got rid of it.

@DustyLee123 was that in one breast or both. I'll ring the GP tomorrow

Please get it checked, I ignored pain and a lump to my detriment.

just one.

I will definetely get it checked tomorrow. I'm just feeling really scared and panicky about it all of a sudden as I've had it for a long time

Get it checked. Drs told me pain was not a symptom of anything bad. They were wrong.

OP

You must get it checked. Having stated that, more often than not its nothing but please get it checked.

It feels sore to touch and kind of heavy but I don't know if the heavy is because I've been feeling and prodding

Get checked for peace of mind. I had unilateral breast pain for months (and had also skipped 2 mammos). Exam & mammo all normal and the pain went. It’s likely nothing bad, but best to make sure.

Depending on where in the country you are there will have a breast pain clinic your GP can refer you to if needed. It's very rare for breast pain to be cancer so try not to worry about that. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34990395/

I recently had exploratory mammogram for chronic breast pain. I'm a possible BRCA2 carrier (genetic test next month) so thought it prudent. Turned out all fine but glad I checked.

Great post and a got example of my previous post, many thanks
But the botoom line, OP get it checked as everyone is saying!
