A few months ago, I had a cyst in my armpitArmpit lump from shaving too closely and was given antibiotics. While I had the cyst, the breast on that side felt very tender and sometimes quite painfulPainful menstrual periods and when I had my arm straight down at my side, it felt like something was swollenSwollen glands in the area. Now, I've noticed that the tender/pain/swollen feeling is back (yes I'm on my period, but it was like this for awhile before my period) and the nipple on that side looks a bit different than the other. I'm only 19, but with all the stuff about breast cancer (which no one in my familyBirth control and family planning Choosing a primary care provider Ewing’s sarcoma Family troubles - resources has ever had), I find myself growing worried. I'm not sure if the pain is from sleeping wrong/poor posturePosture Posture-d h/p or a breast infection, but I was just wondering if anyone could help. I'm anxiously awaiting the end of my period so I can do the breast exam, but I'm still worried beyond belief.
