I guess this is why I don't join these on-line communities; I don't know how to get messages.
Am scheduled for a bilateral mastectomy Dec. 3 for LCIS. Not usual treatment for this condition but I have also had a couple surgeries in the past year due to problems with cysts/chronic mastitis. Now have a diagnosis of Granulomatous mastitis, very rare, very painful, and the main reason I opted for the mastectomy.
Doctors I am working with have NO idea how to proceed with this latest diagnosis, nor do they seem to have any idea of the pain I experience every day.
Am wondering if any one has any experience with Granulomatous mastitis?
Hi,
You could take some OTC pain relief medications for the pain and try some warm compresses.
Wear lose comfortable clothes and keep the area clean.
This should help decrease your symptoms. In the meantime. try to schedule an earlier appointment.
If the pain gets unbearable, go the ER.
Let us know if you have any doubts.
Regards.
