Tender right breast

[blue_hebe]

Not quite sure where to post this....feel free to move.

I often get tender breasts before and during the first couple of days of my period.

For the last 2 or 3 months my right breast has been tender when touched (doesn't otherwise hurt) and feels quite hard on the side closest to my arm and in the centre under the nipple (but not the nipple itself). This is everyday, doesn't seem connected with my period...

Does anyone else get something similar?

I should probably get it checked out, but I feel silly going to a doctor when I don't feel sick

Just one thing to say - Go to the doctor!! Just because you don't feel sick doesn't mean you shouldn't go. You don't always feel sick when you cut yourself and need stitched or break and arm but you go to the doctor. You have a symptom - a sore breast....that is enough to say and not feel silly about.

It could be something very serious (unlikely) and it could be something minor (more likely) but we won't know until you get it checked out - then come back and tell us.

Well I saw a GP today. She has referred me for an ultrasound and mammogram, although stressed that she didn't think it was serious, but would like to have confirmation.

So, another week to wait until that appointment...
