Breast lump found.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has been through similar.
On Saturday the 27th of July (1 week ago) I found a lump in my breast, I went to the GP on Tuesday and seen a nurse practitioner as unfortunately she was the only person available, she had told me the lump was there probably from an injury even though I told her I had no sort of hit to it, but I went on my way and left it as that.
This morning I have woken up and my right arm is numb and my right hand keeps getting pins and needles (same side as to where the lump is), I had a feel of my breast and the lump has got bigger since I last felt it on Tuesday.
So I suppose my question is, are these connected? Is there a nerve in my breast that the lump is possibly pressing onto?
With it only being Saturday I can’t go and see a doctor until Monday so I’m just asking here to see what people think! Thankyou for reading.

I think she should probably have referred you to the breast clinic as you told her there was no injury that could have caused the lump.

If you are getting a numb right arm you would be perfectly within your rights to go to an urgent care centre to see a GP or try to get an out of hours appointment, potentially the two things are not related.
