Breast lump with pain after mamogram

I have a lot going on sorry for the length of this post. I have researched and have not found a lot of help. Two months ago I had a screening mammogram, it did not hurt at all. I had some micro calcifications and they ordered a diagnostic mammogram. It was probably not cancer and I was told to come back in 6 months for another mammogram. Both breast wore sore for a couple of days which I thought was normal. My right breast got better the left one did not. I was extremely sore, swollen, itchy and felt hard for two weeks it hurt under my arm as well. I went back to Dr. he said it was fine. Then two weeks ago I noticed a oblong lump in my left breast. So back to Dr. another mammogram and ultrasound which were negative. It is sore this time but not as bad. Should I be concerned about inflammatory breast cancer? I don't want to over react but I feel like there is something going on that is not normal.

You should call your local hospital and ask who specializes in breast issues or I would think that your own Physician could refer you; and willingly I hope, OR most times a Surgeon will specialize in Breast issues. If there is an Oncology office in your area they would also know who might work in this area of medicine.   Best wishes ....

I would suggest you make an appointment with a Breast Specialist at this time to have him/her review all your films .... not just the reports ... the actual films. I see no connection between the Mammogram and the symptoms that you have described here. This even may be some type of skin issue so if everything else is negative then you might consider seeing a Dermatologist. It's very unusual if you have a palpable lump that it wouldn't be visible on either Mammogram or Ultrasound.   Regards ....
