Hello..it's been very long since I have been on here! I had not had a mamogram since 2007 and did one recently and got called back due to "density" showing on Left breast. After review things were good and they told me I was all set for another year..my concern is that under my left armpit I have a hardening area (have  had for awhile) not painful and the past four - five months have had like a pulling tugging feeling along bra line and ribcage I mentioned this to the technicain and Radiologist and they said if continues talk to my doctor. .just wanted to throw it out there beacuse I know that some density can hide other things going on in the breasts ...I plan on going to see my GP but just wanted to see if anyone else has had any similiar experiences...THANK YOU!!!

      Thank you! I think going to my doctor to get it checked is best I have read about a lot of women who get negative reports on thier Mammos and still have issues with lymphnodes .so best to rule out!

    For some reason, the thinner you are the more dense the breast can be and with fibrocystic, you can have density as well. Density is pretty common. Yes, best to have them check out the area that concerns you just for peace of m7nd. Let us know how you are doing!🌷🌺🌹

    I read where some of the women here have discussed the pulling and tugging along the bra line. I get some of that too and some of the other women have said its related to menopause. I am thinking that if something was wrong they would have seen that in the mammo. Not sure about the density issue. There is a major website where a lot of women in menopause also have the puffy underarm. You can google it and see what that's about, but from what I recall its also hormonal.
