Breast and back pain

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have been having breast pain for a few weeks now. My cycle is now every 14 days. The breast pain is easing but I have been getting a lot of pain at the sides of my breasts and upper back / shoulder blades. Has anyone else experienced this? I've got myself in a state worrying it's something serious (as I have with every symptom of peri). Spoke to the dr who thinks it's probably hormonal, but is going to check me over on Monday. What a nightmare all this is x

      to be honest i have made myself worse sometimes googling but then again if doctors did their job we wouldnt have to would we, plus ive pushed thr doctors in the right direction, they were the same when i was coming off antidepressants basically said they would prescribe what i needed and leave me to it as i seemed to know more about it, honestly such a let down no wonder we are anxious x
