Painful Lump

Hi i too have a similar problem 35yrs old my period came and started with the achy underarm feeling u get my period did last longer than my usual 5days and lasted 8. After my period had gone i could still feel the achiness so i checked my breasts and could feel a lump also in my left breast . My boob is still very achy and tender . I have been to the doctors this morning who has referred me to the breast clinic as she said ny breast does feel lumpy ?? I am not on any type of contraception and am not pregnant i am so worried . Will be a 2 week wait .. hope this helps get yourself to your gp

I found a lump in my breast a few weeks ago and it was very painful to touch, I worried myself sick for a few weeks and had an appointment with the breast clinic within 1.5 weeks, he examined both breasts and found the same lump I found and said he didn't think it was anything sinester however would do an ultrasound just incase, the ultrasound was done there and then and although they could feel the lump the scan didn't show up anything at all which I was pleased about! He gave me a leaflet on breast pain and how to manage it but I have to say it is still really painful, sometimes I can't even lay on my side it hurts that much.

Try not to worry yourself to much easier said than done I know x

Well, I am only 15 and I have this lump only in my right breast. And it hurts just to move it. I am not sexually active or anything. I am no longer pmsing and it still continues. I asked my mom and she said that it might be a clot, and then didn't say anything else. If you can, can you tell me how to get rid of it or at least reduce the pain??

Hello All, 

Thanks again for the feedback and voicing your own concerns.  I just wanted to give an update and maybe this will help others that may be experiencing the same.  I went to my OBGYN and he said that it is more than likely that I have fibrocystic breasts.  The face that it moves and is painful are strong indicators.  I have a sonogram scheduled for this Saturday to confirm his diagnosis.  They also did a sonogram on my stomach/pelvic area and it showed that I have some small firbroids there as well.  For anyone experiencing a lump that is painful, it is probably not dangerous, but please go get examined.  As far as trying to help with the pain part of it.. try to avoid caffeine, nicotine, alchohol as this will exasperate it.  Ibuprophens here and there can help as well (this is just not something you want to take all the time as it can cause damage to other organs, so please only take it when you really have to).
