Just found a painful breast lump

[MiddleClassPerm]

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can give me a bit of advice as with Christmas I won't get to my GP for a while.

I just put on my dressing gown and noticed my left breast felt tender, when I touched it I felt quite a large painful lump. The thing is I had a shower earlier and didn't feel a thing so it seems to have appeared out of nowhere.

Has this happened to anyone else and any ideas of what it could be? I'm freaking out a bit

I just had another look and it's actually a larger hard lump right at the bottom of my breast, almost where it meets my torso and then there's 2 or 3 smaller hard lumps above it.

Please read my thread, lump in breast confirmed.
I met some wonderful people on there.
Mine turned out to be cystic breast tissue that will be monitored. I had constant pain but was reasurred pain is almost never a sign of anything sinister

Thank you for replying, I'll have a look.
