Pain on my right side

[Mubina]

Hello,

Some time ago, I had tests that confirmed that I had a lump in my right breast. It is only 6 mm though and the doctor is not sure if it's a cyst or something solid ( I saw two specialists who had totally different opinions on it.). In any case, I have been having almost excruciating pain constantly on my right side. The pain in very deep inside (almost like in the ribs and radiating to the right upper back). Even at night (probably more so then), the pain is there due to which I cannot sleep. Does anyone know if this pain I am having could be due to the lump or something else (like gall bladder stones?).

If you have a confirmed lump in your breast I am very suprised that some type of biopsy was not recommended. Only a biopsy can differentiate between a benign or cancerous finding. I would demand some definite answer as to the cause of this lump. As far as your pain is concerned; pain is rarely, if ever, associated with breast cancer. The pain you describe should definitely be evaluated by your Physician ... if you suspect a gall bladder problem; this can be confirmed by a simple blood test and/or ultrasound.  Regards ....
