I am a 25 year old female, no children.
About a year ago, maybe more, I noticed a small soft moveable lump in the right side of my lower neck, about 6 cm above my clavicle. The doctor said it was a slightly enlarged lymph node and they can flare up from time to time. So I didn't worry. Month after month and I find it is still there.
I recently found a lump in my left breast on the upper outer quadrant which is best felt on when I lie on my right side. It is hard, almost cyclinder in shape but not so perfectly smooth although no gritty/lumpy feel either. It was not painful until I was touching it for hours and trying to move it, which I'm 70% sure that it does. Now it is more tender but that goes away when I haven't man handled it. I would guess the lump is approximately 5cm in length and between .5/1cm. Going NW to SE.Again I noticed the lump about 5 months ago but it was smaller and a lot less palable and I read online that we can get lumpy breast and so put it down to being a young woman. I have now seen my doctor who has referred me to the breast clinic and I have an appointment in 10 days. When I mentioned about the swollen lymph node in my neck he practically ignored what I had said and just stated "unrelated". And that was the end of that discussion.
I suppose what I would like is for some guidance as to whether I should raise the lymph node again or whether I should just try to forget about it.
My symptoms over the last two years have been:
Random tiredness- seems like all the time
Itchy legs, mainly at night but not limited to that, They do not have a rash just red after I've scratched them to death! And does not respond to any medication/cream.
Bouts of nausea
Tiny tiny red spots that seem to appear daily- almost like tiny burst blood vessel but circular; like a thin pen dotting me on chest, arms, hands, stomach and thighs.
I would gratefully recieve any thoughts on this, I feel like I can't talk to my doctor.
