I need help and the doctors arnt listening to me. I have had this breast pain for over 9 months it aches and hurts from my armpit to my breast. I cant take it anymore. they say its not cancer and I have had tons of tests but I have had no MRI or breast CT scan. I am tempted to tell them to cut my breast off, no joke. I want answers as to what this could be and I am getting none. I have just had sergery to re open my tubes so I can try for another baby and I should be so excited that it all went well, but i keep thinking its a matter of time before I am dead. I dont know what to do. I am at my witts end though I dont know how much longer I can take this.

I get this due to de-generative discs in my shoulder pressing on the nerves

I completely know how you are feeling at the moment, I am going through a similar crisis and am struggling so much, but everyone on this sight is so supportive and helpful :hugs:

I think if it was serious there would have been more symptoms by now. Have you had a mammogram? I am sure the doctor would have sent you for more tests if he thought it could be anything else. It could be muscle strain as that can take a long time to go. :hugs:

I have had a mamogram, chest x ray, needle biopsy, tons of blood work and everything comes back good. But the pain will not go away. I still have a bit of milky dischage when the nipple is squeezed. (sorry for to much info) I guess I could ask my doctor to send that for tests. I had a stillbith at full term 9 months ago. I dont know what to do I just want answers. I am so frusterated.

I am sorry to hear about your still birth, that will have been very distressing. I have had miscarriages and that was difficult enough. The milk often takes a while to go after a pregnancy and as you still have some milk there it could be that you may also have some blocked milk ducts which could cause the pain. I am sure it is nothing serious with all the tests you have had done, they would have shown it. I had a lump once and they did the needle biopsy, blood tests and mammogram and I was told it was just like a cyst so they can tell from these tests if there is anything there. :hugs:

Hi

I have pain in my left breast from my armpit to the bottom of the breast it is all on the outside and its constant. I have seen specialists who can find nothing wrong and have put it down to hormones and the joys of being a woman. Its not just around my period, it is all the time. My sister suffers with this too.
I have had many breasts lumps looked at and needle biopsies and my boob is fine. Like Annie said with all the tests you have had i'm sure your fine.

Hugs:hugs: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My mum's breast cancer was immediately suspected with an echo. She felt great and didn't have pain at all. On the other hand, generic breast pains are very common. :)
