It may be scar tissue that has formed there. I would demand that the doctor due an ultrasound or whatever it took to figure this out.You are your best advocate.

You know that feeling when something just isn't right with your body...natural instinct. After that, you'll start having flu-like symptoms and tenderness around your breasts. The thing is, the symptoms will only worsen if you don't seek medical help. Soon, you'll get silicone poisioning or saline rejection, both which result in dealth if not dealt w/ promptly!

i found a small hard lump in my breast it growed . it was cancer. it hurt sometimes and my breasts got sore.i was diagnosed april 2005...Lumps in a woman are often caused by fibrocystic changes, fibroadenomas, and cysts.\n\nFibrocystic changes can occur in either or both breasts. These changes occur in many women (especially during the reproductive years) and are considered a normal variation of breast tissue. Having fibrocystic breasts does not increase your risk for breast cancer. It does, however, make it more difficult to interpret lumps that you or your doctor find on exam. Many women feel tenderness in addition to the lumps and bumps associated with fibrocystic breasts.\n\nFibroadenomas are non-cancerous lumps that feel rubbery and are easily moveable within the breast tissue. Like fibrocystic changes, they occur most often during the reproductive years. Usually, they are not tender and, except in rare cases, do not become cancerous later. A doctor may feel fairly certain from an exam that a particular lump is a fibroadenoma. The only way to be sure, however, is to remove or biopsy them.\n\nCysts are fluid-filled sacs that often feel like soft grapes. These can sometimes be tender, especially just before your menstrual period. Cysts may be drained in the doctor's office. If the fluid removed is clear or greenish, and the lump disappears completely after it is drained, no further treatment is needed. If the fluid is bloody, it is sent to the lab to look for cancer cells. If the lump doesn't disappear, or recurs, it is usually removed surgically.\n\nOther causes of breast lumps include:\n\nMilk cysts (sacs filled with milk) and infections ( mastitis ), which may turn into an abscess. These typically occur if you are breastfeeding or have recently given birth. \nBreast cancer , detectable by mammogram or ultrasound, then a biopsy. Men can get breast cancer. \nInjury -- sometimes if your breast is badly bruised, there will be a collection of blood that feels like a lump. These tend to resolve on their own in a matter of days or weeks. If not, the blood may have to be drained by your doctor. \nLipoma -- a collection of fatty tissue. \nIntraductal papilloma -- a small growth inside a milk duct of the breast. Often occurs near the areola, the colored part of the breast surrounding the nipple, in women between the ages of 35 and 55. It is harmless and frequently cannot be felt. In some cases the only symptom is a watery, pink discharge from the nipple. Since a watery or bloody discharge can be seen in cases of breast cancer, this must be evaluated by your doctor. \ni dident have no discharge or bleeding from the nipple.. see your doctor...and request a mamogram and ultra sound.. i forgot the first gyn that checked mine said i dident need a mamogram said mine was a milk gland ....a year later i went and had another gyn check it out ..

I get a lump every period time (a cyst)and my doc says it from caffine intake or something hormaonal, check with your doc its real easy for them to tell if its a cyst.  Also if you have "larger" breasts sometimes the tissue is denser and it feels like a whole lot of lumps al over. thats ok too

It's probably just gas...I know it sounds weird...gas in your breast?  But it's very true and possible...but to be safe you should contact your doctor.

LOL Mine do it all the time too...I once had a doctor say that it's cause by a nerve cluster in the aerola (nipple) firing erratically all at once. Try scratching it with a piece of toilet paper or tissue so that you don't scratch it. Also I notice that it's worse when I wear a bra (as the day goes on.) Perhaps there is a small piece of the cloth irritating the area causeing it to itch. Mmmmmm. Try taking your bra off (if the t.p. thing don't work) and washing both breasts down with a damp cloth. That usually helps me.

that might not be what it is, consider your recent activity and look it up on symptoms on yahoo search or something. It could be a zit or something.

Usually not.  Lumps are usually painless.  Try gently massaging the breast all over. Check for the size of the lump, and consult a physician if any serious irregularities persist.

No it is not normal to have breast that are differant in size or painful. Since cancer is only painful in advanced stages, you may have fibrocystic breast. Either way you should consult your Dr. just to be on the safe side, if it turns out to be fibro, please e-mail me and I`ll tell you a secret I learned at the age of 17 to rid you of the lumps and pain..I learned a something, believe this or not from a chiropractor when the Dr.`s was going to remove my breast, IT WORKED!!! I`m 43 and have no problems! Be Blessed, I`ll be praying for you! Rev.Susan

Yes, DEFINETLY GO TO YOUR DOCTOR, It could be something that when you were young you were supposed to keep and eye on for tumors or cancer, if it is hurting that it never a good sign.  Our bodies are way to complicated to take advice on here from these crazy people.  PLEASE talk to your doctor, and make sure he or she is educated, we have all come across those doctors who pass these 6 week courses and think they can be P.A.'s.  (physician assistants) this is a serious matter, and you need to see a real professional.

Once i got that too it can happen if you wear a bra that is irritating or the boobs can't breathe. Use hydrocortisone cream for a week it will go away. Stay away from bras that that push em together. lol

There is no way to tell if a breast lump is cancerous or not without investigating it.  I have been a registered mammographer for over 15 years and I can tell you first hand that there are no set signs and symptoms of breast cancer.  I have heard many people say that if a breast lump hurts, then it is not cancer....NOT TRUE.  I have plenty of patients who ignored a painful lump because of this and had their breast cancer grown unchecked for months and unfortunately even years in some cases.  Call your local Pubic Health Department.  Even in our very small town, we have a program called Care For Her, which will provide mammograms and even follow up biopsies/treatment etc.  Not only could acting on this save your life, it could give you a better QUALITY of life as well.
