What is going on

I have been feeling pain in my left breast. Recently the pain was very intense. I feel a lump in my breast but an xray done in the ER did not show anything. The pain is radiating into my shoulder and into my left arm. No matter what I say the doctors continue to tell me they do not feel anything yet I feel it and when I carry a back pack it hurts my shoulder and feels like something is being compressed. I feel crazy and wonder if that is what everyone is thinking I know the pain is real. I know my breast hurts could this be cancer.

The most common cause of breast pain is hormonal stimulation that usually coincides with a woman's menstrual cycle. The pain is usually most intense just before the menses and subsides upon the onset of menses. This pain can also be accompanied by a lump. I suggest that you discuss with your doctors about further imaging studies such as mammogram (a plain x-ray will not tell us much) and/or ultrasound examination. This will tell us if there is something wrong with the breasts.
Regards and God bless.
