Pec Muscle Pain - Little freaked out

Past two months have been very difficult health wise. I lost a much wanted baby at appx 10 weeks and required an emergency d&c due to hemorrhage. I also started having some discharge again months after I stopped breastfeeding my first.

I’ve had a pec strain before in ‘22, started trying to work out again six weeks ago after my miscarriage, and think I’ve really properly messed it up again. My breast, armpit, and side rib area feel super sore like someone took a bat to it. Unfortunately, I can’t really limit movement because I’m constantly picking up my toddler and pushing him in his pram.

Went to the GP, got an exam and got referred to the breast clinic. There were no lumps, but she’s worried that I can still self express some yellow milk from both sides. Now, I’m honestly terrified. I keep reading about women getting diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer with no lumps.

Can anyone give me some assurance? The pain is primarily in my armpit and the top part of my breast. I’m getting a private consult on the 16 but I feel nauseated with stress over this. My body let me down with the MC and now it’s something else.
