left breast discomfort

I had a lumpectomy 11 years ago removed a small cancerous tumor in left breast followed by 30 days of radiation therapy. Have had no problems since, in the last week of two experiencing soreness in left breast in the middle of the scar. Is this normal?

hi about 5 weeks ago my left breast doubled in size and was very hard also was warm to the touch. Dr. prescribed 6000mg a day of antibiotics. Was on this treatment for 3 weeks, after this time the breast softened to touch but could feel a thickness to the breast. Have had ultrasound that showed a great deal of fluid in breast and mammo that showed thickened breast tissue. 2 weeks ago a egg size lump appeared in left armpit.

Breast discomfort is rarely associated with breast cancer but can be due to many causes. I don't know of any breast concern that has anything to do with the size of your breast ... large or small. My best advice would be to see a Dr. for a clinical breast exam and perhaps some type of imagery (Ultrasound or Mammogram) to determine the cause of this discomfort.

I have had blood work, the light down the throat, colonoscopy, cat scan of the stomach with contrast, ultra sound of the stomach and they tell me that everything came back fine. However I still have problems in the upper left side just below the left breast. It's not a pain, it feels like there is something there, I can feel it when something lays against it, when I bend over and its a annoying feeling. I am up for any information that someone can give me.

my left breast is larger and more firm that the right one like more dense can this be normal or reason for concern. I am 32.

I'm having uncomfortable pain underneath my left breast where it connects to the body I was told it possibly could be acid reflux and then did a breast exam on myself and felt thickened tissue. were the bread actually connects to my body and was worried that it might be something serious. Also during the same time having a lot of stomach aches after eating.

Hi I am 18 years old and my left breast has been hurting for a week or so now. It only hurts when I press on it. But it's really bothering me! I had my period October 5-10. Then on tuesday the 18th I took the plan B pill. (we had a little accident and I didn't want to chance it) is there anyway that the pill is still causing this!? The pain started the day after I took the pill! Please! Any suggestions on what is going on! Thanks!

I am 30 years old and for the past week I have been having severe pain and burning in my left breast. I did a self examination and found a lump on the right side of my breast. My mother had breast cancer when she was 45 and when I asked her about her lump hers burned. My mom gas had two aunts pass away from cancer. I'm scared and can't call my doctor until Monday.

Hi, If you haven’t noticed any abnormal features on breast self-examination like a breast lump, nipple discharge or skin changes, I would doubt that the pain you are describing is associated to breast cancer. The pain in your breast could be due to many benign causes like injury to the breast tissue, a pulled muscle, a pinched nerve, Costochondritis which is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone and it could also be caused by an improper posture.

underneath my left breast. It last for approx 2 seconds but is really painful when it comes almost like a burning pain. Are you able to tell me what this is?

Well, microcalcifications aren't known to cause breast pain or discomfort. They can be found scattered about in the breast tissue and not be of any concern. It is only when they are seen in certain particular groups or clusters that they may raise suspicion and then a biopsy is usually advised. Since these calcifications were obviously scattered there would be no way for you to know that any discomfort you feel would be in the very spots where they exist.

I'm a 24 year old female and I've been experiencing some discomfort in my left breast. I've always had lumpy breasts with mobile/movable lumps that sort of hurt when pressed. A few weeks ago I noticed a relatively larger lump on the left side of my left breast, it isn't fixed, and moves around a little, and hurts if pressed. It doesn't feel irregular in shape, and is not visible without feeling the breast.

for starters couple of months ago I went to the MD about having pain on my left breast, she said I had what they called tendities (not if spelled right). Here lately through if I eat certain food such as pizza or spaghetti I get really really bad heartburn, but it also seems like if I have too much salt or sugar I get it, not only that but I also get a slight discomfort under my breast I'm not sure if its got to do with my tendities or what. Has anyone had these same symthoms??

I received a phone call from the radiology department that another mamogram needed to be done due to Asymmetrical Density in my left breast. Well, I have had alot of pain in my left outside part of my breast. My OB/GYN said it was more a thickness that cyst like. Also, I have had pain in my collar bone on my left side only and pain in my left forearm and my wrist on my left hand. Even neck pain on my left side with pain also in my chest at times. Could part of this be due to stress?

My doctor done a stereotactic vacuum biopsy on my left breast this April. A clip was left inside my breast. A week after the procedure, I receive the result from my surgeon and she said that its not cancerous. Its been more than one month and i still feel twitching pain from my left breast. particularly from the area which the clip is left. And the hard lumps (due to the procedure) are still there.

Persistent pain in left breast and under arm , cluster of cysts in breast, have tried all sorts of medication recommended by GP but nothing eases the pain. GP said they won't remove them. Any suggestions ?

I'm 47 yrs. old, have had a complete hysterectomy 10 yrs ago and have had saline implants for 17 yrs. The passed 3 months I've had breast pain on the left side, mostly upper quadrant and under my left arm. Also burning pain on the right mid area of my left brest. It is sometimes very sharp pain in that area. My breast often feels heavy, but that seems to come and go.

Doctor , I am feeling a pain in the bottom of the left breast the pain is not continuous and when I touches the pain areaait seemed to be across the bone located beneath the breast.

I am experiencing this radiating shooting and burning pain that shoots through my left breast and up into my arm. I am a little bit worried about this because the pain in getting worse and my GP did not feel this lump. I know I am statistically to young for breast cancer but I can't help but be worried there might be something wrong. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. I am hoping that someone who has experienced this before can help me to understand. Thank you!!
