Discomfort In Breast, Numbness In Arm And Fingers, Back And Shoulder Pain. Tests Normal. What Is Going On?
Hi,
I am an 26 year old female, that have been having discomfort in my left breast and numbess/tingling in my left arm and fingers. Also at times a sharp pain may come in left side of my upper back (even with my breast) and shoulder when the discomfort come. This has been happening over 2 months now, I went to the ER last month did EKG, X-Ray, blood work, and other test all came back great. I followup with my doctor a couples week ago she want me to see a cardiologist to rull out cardio and then will test for thyroid. I don't know what's the problem, tired of getting run arounds saying nothing wrong or it maybe this or that when I know something unusual is going on in my body. It's not worsneing or getting better. Please help!!!! Thanks,

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some problem in your breast.
Consult Gynaec and get your both breasts thoroughly examined for having any lump or some infective focus.
This might be giving discomfort in breast and enlarge lymph nodes in axilla might be giving pressure symptoms.
You may require mammography.
Ok and take care.
