Brief Answer:
PET scan advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, I understand your anxiety related to the problem.
I would like to suggest you to get a PET Scan done and then upload me the report.
PET scan in case normal and shows no increase in blood flow at all then there is nothing to worry.
But still yearly mammogram is a must.
Take care

Brief Answer:
diclofenac and serratiopepdidase
Detailed Answer:
PET scan is a special type of xray scanning and in it we inject a special XXXXXXX which is then detected by the scan.
If that XXXXXXX gets concentrated at any place in the breasts then further evaluation will be very target based.
For pain take tablet diclofenac and serratiopeptidase combination maximum thrice a day.
Restricted use of arms will be of great help.
Take care.
