Hi there everyone! I am a 29 year old female and I noticed a lump in my left breast earlier this year. I have a history of skin cancer and cancer, including breast from both sides of the family, well, runs in the family. PCP had an ultrasound done and I was told it was a swollen lymph node. About 3 months later she called me to follow up and was bothered by the fact that it was still there. She had me do an ultrasound, mammo, and sent me to a breast specialist. Everything confirmed that it was simply a swollen lymph node.
My problem is...It is located in a spot where when it "pings" whatever nerve or whatever it hits, pain shoots to my armpit and down my arm as well as toward the center of my chest and diagonal toward my heart. It drives me INSANE! Every day I am uncomfortable and anxious because of the "chest" pain it causes.
I am going to call my breast specialist tomorrow to see if he has any ideas of why I am experiencing so much discomfort. Anyone out there go through something similar?
