Hi,
You could be having the weakness due to various causes - including a wrong posture while sleeping, due to the effect of the medications you are on, due to the breast lesion itself, etc.
It is time that you schedule an appointment with your doctor and talk to him/her about the non-resolution of your symptoms even with the prescribed medications.
Let us know if you have any ther doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing.
Regards.
This morning I have a very weak left arm, it has a burning sensation under the arm and breast is still swollen, but hasn't gotten bigger that I can tell. However there seems to be a slight indent over my nipple that I have not noticed before. What could cause the weakness? Do you think that it could be related to my breast situation or is this something totally different?
Thanks for all the info.
Hi,
It would be best to follow your doctor's advise and get a repeat ultrasound in 2 weeks time and see for any changes in the report.
Till then you need to continue with your medications and also try some warm compresses and see if it helps.
Let us know if you have any other doubts.
Regards.
The bruise was not caused by any trama that I can remember. I would think if I had hit my breast that hard I would have remembered it and that it would be tender to the touch which is was not. In the self examinations, I don't have any lumps just able to feel the glands that are swollen under my collar bone above my left breast and the area under the left arm. Surgeon did say that she will do another US in a 2 weeks and see if there are any changes in the area of concern.
Hi,
Nothing can be said with surety without a clinical examination and having a look at your reports.
You could continue with the medications and consult your doctor at the end of 7 days to update her on your symptoms and also about the persistence of the lesion.
What specific features do you observe on breast self examination?
Was the bruise you mention due to trauma?
Talk to your doctor about getting an MRI done if required and also discuss about whether a biopsy would be required in your case.
Let us know how you are doing and also update us on what your doctor advises.
Hope this helps.
Regards.,
