Evening everyone.
About a month ago i had a discomfort under my left breast along my rib which was very tender. It went up along side my breast but not on my breast. I suffer with IBS and am use to discomfort under my ribs on the left side and sometimes radiates to the armpit, along with trapped wind, gurrgling etc; but this was something i hadnt experienced before.
My Mum at the same time had just been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, which thankfully has been removed with no futher treatment and the outcome looks very promising. My health anxiety is mainly centered around the fear of cancer so my mind has gone into overdrive.
This discomfort finally passed, but in the last 3 days the IBS symptoms have returned along with a very tender spot along the ribs right imbetween my breasts that can go under the breast and up to the armpit, occassionaly getting some sharp pains and almost burning sensation; the discomfort does come and go and lessen on and off. Due to my Mum's history and my cancer worries im worrying it's something to do with my boobs.
Has anyone come across this tender ribs, almost bruised? any ideas what it is? can you get this with Anxiety? any ideas how to deal with it?
Thanks so much for taking the time to read my post, and any responses will be greatfully recieved.
Thanks,
Mandy xx
