Hi, for the past 9 months I’ve had various different pains in my left breast. It started off as a bruised feeling under my left breast sort of along my rib, during a very anxious time. it then moved up into my actual breast. Sometimes it’s there and sometimes it isn’t. Now I keep getting random stabbing pains sometimes going from my armpit to my nipple and sometimes just underneath my breast. I’m 19 and I have scoliosis, so my whole ribcage is twisted round and sticks out more on the left side, I don’t know if it could be related to that. I’ve been worri d and tense non stop for the past 9 months. I’m too scared to go to the doctor, I’m not asking anybody here to diagnose me but is there any way this could just be anxiety and/or scoliosis related? Please nobody tell me that it could be the obvious thing, I’ve thought about that non stop anyway :( I feel like I can’t take any more of the worrying it’s been going on for so long and it’s so intense, sometimes I’m convinced my breast feels ‘full’ even though when I calm down a bit I don’t have the same feeling. I feel so alone and like nobody else ever gets this so I’m convinced I’m dying, is there ANY way anxiety could be causing any of this?

Anxiety can minic illness your mind is so powerful it can convince you anything,it can really be scary you need to get it checked l know you're scared but really ask yourself your very young to get something like breast cancer not impossible but extremely rare, im sure you're going to be okay l get sharp pains on and off probably most women do just remember anxiety is a bitch try and take control back by facing it face on good luck xx
