Breast pain left side for months? Mixed results

[Ellebel 67]

Sooooo here i am again, freakin out with my carcinophobia ruining my life..

for months now my left breast has had an ache. Occasionally out of the blue but there is always a tender spot when pressed, same spot!

 

i had ultrasound and mammo: clear! Mri of breast where one dokter stated he saw a mildly suspicious area around the painarea and recommended biopsy. When i went for biopsy they had appearantly reread my mri paired with the clear mammo/usg and decided i was all clear. Just normal tissue they said, no biopsy needed.  I am super super confused but tried to let it go. Its been 7 months since. The aches are still there as is the sore spot. I am pushing for a second opinion although new scand wont be possibly bec im 8 weeks pregnant.

 

guess im looking for reassurance, more ladies who experienced long term aches or tender spots in one breast only .  You would save my life 😉

Hi ellebel

i know how you feel. I had breast pain left side only since January this year. I could only describe the pain as burning, throbbing and more in one spot than another. I also noticed a change in nipple so went to doc ASAP and was referred to one stop clinic for assessment.

i had full examination, mammogram and they reassured me all was clear and no probs but no answer for the nipple change other than could be anything! Needless to say since then I haven’t slept, eaten properly and worried sick that they have missed something. Went back to doc this month who examined me thoroughly and said he had no concerns and that mammogram was clear so I should be reassured. 
like you I still worry but keep trying to reassure myself now....thing is though the pain is different now and sometimes in other spots now too so wonder if my HA is contributing but I am pushing for another referral to clinic for my own peace of mind now.

You have a lovely time ahead with a new baby on the way so you don’t want to spoil that with unnecessary worry so go and get checked again if only for your own mental health....that’s exactly what I’m doing now despite the fear it will bring.

let me know how it goes for you and take care.

Hello, Ellebel. I’m sorry to hear what you’re going through. I know it’s not easy for anyone not to worry or fear. But fear will only make us feel miserable -- will not do anything good. Since your tests have come out clear, just stay calm and relax. Like Paulsey said, focus on how you can enjoy your time with your growing baby inside. I hope everything goes well with you. Senidng hugs & prayers your way!

Hiii both! @Paulsey so sorry you are going through the same! Its so confusing to me that based on the same mri images; one doc says biopsy needed and the other: no further action. My anxiety is still high, pain is worse it seems. Like you i also seem to feel it in other spots and wonder if its spreading OR due to my anxiety-hypervigilance. Baby in bellyis doing great btw, 17 weeks along now 🥰
