Kimmy,
Take it from someone who has Fibrocystic Disease, it's probably just a benign lump. But I will say a prayer for you. Do you have a history of breast cancer in your family? I've had so many lumps removed from my right boob, I've told the doctor that I'm having breast reduction surgery by the teaspoon!! :D
Hang in there and call me when you find out, okay??
Love you!!
Donna
Thanks everyone!! :D

Doc says that's likely what it is.
For people that don't know what that is... my little take home sheet says:
"Breasts that are 'fibrocystic' have an exaggerated response to the hormonal fluctuations of the menstrual cycle. After ovulation, 1-2 weeks before the period, the breast develop cysts, retain fluid, and enlarge. They may also become tender and sometiems very painful. The pain can radiate into the axilla (the armpit) or even into the shoulder area."
And there's your medical insight for the day. ;)
I'm such a hormonal mess from my Endo, being on this and that.... *bleah!* It's not even that time of the month for me and because of meds, it won't be for another 3 months! Oiy... oiy... (lol!!! Too much info.. I'm sure. sorry!)
No lumps from what she could tell. YAY!! :D But if the pain persists, she told me to come back.
Barbara and Donna... I do have some of those 'knots'. I always wondered what those were. Never hurt before. *stupid.. grrr endo... grrrr * ;) :D
I'm very relieved to hear that you are OK. Best wishes that the pain stops soon--
Glad to hear all is fine!
I do hope that the pain goes away soon though:D
I'm so happy for your good report, just sorry you had pain, Kim! I have the exact same problem and completely understand your worry and concern!!!!!
So glad it turned out to be 'nothing' Kimmy!!
Glad to hear it was nothing, but also glad you had it checked out. :)
