Armpit pain and thickening in breast Posted: 01-16-08 06:39am
I have been having a dull pain in my left
armpit for a few months, and aches in my
left breast. On occassions, I would feel
pain in my right breast. I saw my PCP in
November, and she suggested that I cut
down on caffiene. I saw my gyn today and
described my symptoms, after a breast
exam, she though she felt a thickening in
both breasts, but a little more in my
left. The thickening is between the right
and the left breast, and was tender to
touch.
I have 2 young children and are worried to
death. I go for my mammogram and
ultrasound on 1/23. Everything that I have
read is pointing toward BC and possible
IBC. I don't know what to do!

How old are you?
For how long and how often you are
experiencing breast pain?
Are these symptoms more intense during
your menstrual cycle?
Waiting for you to share with us your
results from tomorrow's examinations.
Best wishes!

Armpit pain and pain with thickening in breast Posted: 01-22-08 12:46pm
I have been experiencing these pains for a
while off and on. I had my mammogram
yesterday, and compared to the one taken
in 2006 there has not been any changes. I
have recently been taking in evening
primrose oil to see if that would help and
I have not felt any pain in my left
breast. It could actually be horomonal. I
am going to try to keep track of my cycle
to see any changes.

You'll need to track your breast pain
symptom.
Equal discomfort in both breasts is most
commonly benign.
New and persistent discomfort in only one
breast may be of concern, particularly if
it's getting worse, not better.
Have you noticed some changes in
appearance of your left breast?
