Has anyone had a problem with burning and pain around the nipple area of their breast? I have had pain for about a year, it started out as a light pain that would come and go, then it was more frequent. For like the last 3 weeks my breast feels like it is on fire and the pain is unbearable. Even to have the seatbelt rub it brings me to tears. To explain be example I say it feels like something is tearing the skin and trying to climb out of my nipple. It is just horrible. I seen my Doctor and he said he doesn't feel anything and sent me for a mammogram. I haven't heard from the doctor yet, but the lady that did the procedure said the radiologist didn't seemed to worried about the scans. I am always getting the question of why I have waited for a year....my 6 year old son had a brain tumor removed in 2007 and I have been his caregiver. He has been undergoing chemo for over a year and a half now. He mattered most to me, but now that my pain is unbearable I can't wait. If anyone has some answers that will help, please let me know. I would like to have an idea what I am up against, and if I should pust for more answers if the mammogram was clear.
