this goes back quite a while but a couple of months ago i was getting a lot of pain in my left breast. it was on and off and just ached a lot and i was quite worried about it since a while before i had had some nasty looking nipple discharge but couldnt find any lumps when i checked. anyway, the past 2 or 3 weeks ive had a pain in my right breast this time sort of to one side of my breast near my armpit. i know theres some sort of gland around there but im not sure exactly where it is or what it might mean that it is sore. its very tender there, almost like a really sore bruise and if it is a gland, its swollen slightly too. i spoke to my mum about it, she was quite worried about it but said that she gets pain there just before her period but since mine has been going on for a long time i dont really understand what could be causing it. anyone got any ideas?thanks

Breast pain

when my mum had breast cancer she was told that VERY few cancers are painful, so i doubt that you have anything like that to worry about. Very often breast tissue, or the lymph nodes (under or near your armpit) get swollen and tender, for reasons like strain, infections, etc........if you are worried hon, go to the docs and get it checked out. A couple of years ago i had a breast scare and got as far as being booked in for a mamogram but luckily they found nothing..........it was always at the back of my mind tho, what if there was something wrong.........so my advice, get yourself to your GP and put your mind at rest, let us know how you go hon ok hugs

In reply to: when my mum had breast cancer she was told that VERY few cancers are painful Well thats what my aunts thought, and they were relieved because they had pain. But it ended up being cancerous. So never take it for granted, i would say if you feel any type of lump get it checked out by a doctor, you can never be too safe

I agree hon, there are cancers that hurt, but that isn't the norm, or that what my mum was lead to beleive..........yep a trip to the docs will see you straight amy, try not to worry too much darlin hug

i once had a lump kind of thing by my armpit which was slightly painful, it turned out to be a lymph node
