Mastalgia
Posted , 5 users are following.
Found something online called mastalgia (I think it's on here) which almost exactly matched my symptoms. I have been experiencing pain in left breast and armpit and felt general lumpiness, sometimes with the pain\sensation running across my shoulder and down my arm. The breast seems fuller than the other one and is veiny, all of which were on the list for mastalgia.
Had it checked by docs and it all seems fine but it has scared me s***less so thought it worth sharing, in the hope it might help my fellow sufferers. Peace out x

theres also Mastitis of the breast, tenderness etc - thats the word my doctor used, wasnt an infection in there, just tenderness due to crazy hormones ..
wasnt taking any extra hormones or HRT either...
big hugs

I had mastitus when breastfeeding so thought it was a recurrence of that but doc gave me antibiotics which didn't work. I say that, actually, but I finished the course yesterday morning and was still having a bit of pain in the afternoon but today haven't had any so far. Maybe the antibiotics did something after all.
Yeah, my doc said hormones. Still, he's sending me for a mammo in any case to check but he said he expects this to be clear. Fingers crossed.
Hope all is good with you x
