I HAVE A LUMP UNDER MY RIGHT BREAST, AND IT IS KIND OF SOFT FEELING, WHEN I GET INTO A CURTAIN POSITION, OR LAY FLAT ON MY BACK IN BED IT IS REAL TENDER AND PAIN FUL, AND I CAN FILL THAT IT IS THERE THE PAIN WHEN I MOVE A CURTAIN WAY, I HAVE HAD OPEN HEART SURGERY, IN 2000, DO YOU THINK THAT IT COULD BE FROM THE STAPLES THAT THEY PUT IN, I JUST HAD A MAMMOGRAM IN DEC, AND IT IS FINE, I HAVE BEEN BACK TO THE HEART DOCTOR, AND THE DID A STRESS TEST ON ME, AND IT WAS FINE,
IT IS RIGHT, WERE THE RIB CAGE STARTS, WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS, SHOULD I BE REAL CONCERNED, AND SEE IF IT GOES AWAY, OF GO TO THE DOCTOR AGAIN, AND HAVE AN EX-RAY DONE??
I HAVE TOLD MY DOCTOR THAT I HAVE HAD BREAST PAIN, BUT THAT WENT AWAY, SHE DID NOT SEEM TO BE TO CONCERNED,
Thank you for answering me so quickly. One more question, should I see by gyn or a dematologist? The skin problem didn't happen until after the lump.( and I missed with it.)
any peristing lump ought to be checked: 2 cycles is enough time to wait. It sounds like it may be a skin problem rather than a breast problem, but it's best to find out.
forgot something.
when I look in the mirror or doing a bse all i feel is like a raised area , its not until I pinch the skin do I feel and see the lump (knot)
Thanks
I'd say to start with your gyn or primary doc, and have them decide if anyone else needs to be involved.
Dear wilmothpac: Since it has been a couple months and it has not gone away, it is probably worth having it checked out. There may be a very simple explanation but it is best to be sure it is not something to be concerned about.
