Have Back Ache. Left Breast Is Bigger Than Right And Have Pain. Breast Cancer?
It started about a year back...my work involved travelling with a heavy laptop on my back. This led to severe backache which persists till date. But all of a sudden, I started experiencing pain in my left breast. The pain lasted for a week or so and then I noticed that my left breast had become bigger than my right one..it protrudes more than the right one..i dont know whether it is a sign of breast cancer .. Wanted your opinion
Hi,
Your symptoms are not suggestive of breast cancer. Your back pain may be due to muscle spasm. Anyway you should be examined by a general surgeon. Sonogram of breast may be helpful, do not worry it is not likely to be breast cancer. take care.
Sorry to hear about your problem but I am glad that you are seeking medical attention for the same. Breast cancer usually presents as a painful lump in the breast and painful enlargement of the breast is usually not a sign of breast cancer. There might be still be a small chance that this could be something suspicious. To rule that out you should have this problem evaluated by a breast/ general surgeon. Also you need to have an ultrasound of the breast for better evaluation of the lump.
Please feel free to ask any other query or share your USG report.
