Hello Ladies :)
Really need your help on this, anxiety is clouding my judgement and i cant really think straight.
I was having bad breast pain last month, mainly in my left breast it started 10 days before my period, i waited until my period was well finished and i was still in pain, during this time i started to poke and prod my left breast about 10 times a day, i couldnt find anything but continued with this and then one day i though ooo i think i feel something near the top near my armpit!!
I got myself in a huge state i wasnt sure if it was a lump or just tissue so went to the doctor.
He examined me and said there is definately no lumps there but your tissue feels swollen which can be caused by a minor hormone fluctuation.
I decided to stop poking and my breast ain reduced alot, i started having pain again as i was due on my period again and it stopped as soon as my period started, which i know is good news and means that my pain was hormone related.
However! i have started poking and prodding again and most of the time feel nothing but sometimes thing ooo i feel a little something, when i examine using shower gel so my hand is well lubricated i feel nothing in the slightest, but when i dont examine like this im just not sure!!!
My boyfriend felt for me and my mum and they both said that they felt nothing at all just normal tissue under in my breast.
I just cant think straight, i cant feel a lump for sure, but i just dont know! the tissue is alot thicker in my left breast than my right, my mum said a lump feels like a bean in a balloon as she has had one before and if i did have a lump i would know for sure and the doctor, her and my boyfriend would feel it for sure.
I have pretty much convinced myself something is there and cant think straight, anxiety has caused my so many health worries which i believed to be true so i cant really trust my own judgement, just need some advice :( thanks for reading xxx
