For about 6 wks now my breast have been hurting and aching pain in armpits. This has occurred the ought my menstrual cycle. Also have had shooting pains in the left breast on and off. I don't know if related but suffered with aging pins in both legs too but mainly the left. I am so worried this could b related to BC. My mom was diagnosed with it at my age. I went to doctors and she checked and sound no lumps but I'm still scared as although they say breast pain isn't usually related to BC. It could b inflammatory BC and u could experience pain if it's at an advanced stage. I'm being referred to breast consultant.
The hospital wrote to breast cancer specialists a year ago and the letter came back saying I wasn't at high risk even though my mom had it?
Just scared. I'm 45 and was hoping this could all b to do with peri menopause but then they say I'm too young!

Are you still waiting to be referred? Are you in the UK? If so, you should ideally be seen within 2 weeks of a referral. I would continue stressing yours concerns to the GP and consultant. 45 is still very young but it's also a time when many changes can occur in a woman's breast. I had severe breast pain which radiated to my left shoulder, arm and upper back. I could not wear a bra nor sleep on my left side. I realised after much research it was silent reflux causing my symptoms so the pains were referred pain.

Continued... I also found out the referred pain can be due to growths of masses in the lower abdominal area and this freaked me out. Anyway cut a long story short: I was found to have several fibroids, one was SO large it was growing upwards pushing my organs and stomach, causing the reflux. I had major surgery recently and can say my symptoms have all but disappeared. I still get the odd ache but it's never long lasting nor severe. I'm 40.
Try not to worry but you should not have to put up with pain like I did. Do not settle for painkillers and be told it's nothing. Persue to find a reason for it, it will help ease your mind. All the best X
