Some of you may remember I posted in December after having slight breast pain on one side, then having spontaneous discharge on the same side. I was able to quickly get in for a mammogram and ultrasound and got a clean bill of health. I was so relieved!
But for the past week or more I’ve had lots of tingling (letdown feeling/cold feeling), and more recently achiness and pain in the same breast. The tingling/coldness is weird - like if it were any other body part I would think it’s a pinched nerve, but of course with my breast I immediately think of cancer. I nearly have myself convinced it’s actually IBC that just didn’t show up on the scans of only 2 months ago. I haven’t noticed any visual changes like redness or orange peel texture, but my breast does feel heavy or full (or maybe that’s because I’m focusing on it and worried about it…)
I am 45 and likely perimenopausal, so I’m hoping this is due to random hormone changes? Does anyone else get similar symptoms? I’ve also found my shoulder and back on that side to be achy recently…which of course makes me think it’s spreading quickly while I try to ignore it. Bah.
Any thoughts or experience to share?
