back pain and breast cancer
by dylanred, Oct 19, 2007 11:03AM
I have had ultrasound & mammo early this year which both came back negative.I had this because I had been experiencing pains in my left breast. Then I developed a very itchy spot on the aerola of this left breast. I tried clotrimazole to no avail. The breast is getting big and sore. And I had been having terrible back pains which is confined only on the left side of my back. I also experienced a feeling of numbness on the right breast. I have no history of cancer in the family. I am 41 years old. Could this be breast cancer?

Dear Dylanred, Without evaluation including physical examination it is impossible to say what is causing your symptoms. It is best to have this assessed by your doctor.

Have you seen a Breast Specialist about your problem ?? If not I would suggest that you do so very soon. Something must be going on and you should find out without delay.
