Burning In Breasts. Diagnosed For Cancer With No Result. Occurred Last Year And Taken Lyrica, Sweating. Cancer?

I have burning in my left breasts. I have been to my physicians, she has taken all the tests to see if it is breast cancer she says no. I only seem to get this burning in july I had the same thing last year. I took Lyrica and the pain went away. This time it is lasting a little longer. I also sweat alot only on my face and behind my neck. Is this cancer?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is understandable to be concerned about the possibility of breast cancer. Breast cancer is detected by physical examination and imaging studies such as a mammogram or ultrasound in women with dense breast tissue.

If you had a recent mammogram (within the last year) which was negative, it is unlikely to be breast cancer.
The fact that the pain responded to lyrica would imply that it may be a neuralgia or nerve related pain.

I hope this helps

Dear Ma'am,

Sorry to hear about your problem. Your symptoms are not suggestive of cancer. Burning can be due to hormonal changes. I am sure your physician would have ordered a mammography or sonomammography for you and if that is normal, you should not worry and just get regular screening done.

For the sweating, you should visit a dermatologist.

Hoping for the best. Please feel free to clarify any other query.
