Pain And Tenderness In Breast, Scar Like Appearance, Knot Like Sensation. What Does It Sound Like?
Hi... I have some pain and tenderness in my left breast going on three weeks now. at first I thought the tenderness was because my cycle was getting close to starting and tenderness because it started which is normal for the experience sometimes, but not every cycle. after my cycle ended I realized the tenderness remained in only the left breast and was stronger than in my right breast. About 4 days after my cycle ended I noticed in the mirror that the left breast looked as if there was a scar under the skin when I raised up my arm. Like something on the inside was pulling in the muscle fibers causing my left breast to look as if a rope was on the inside pulling. I can the tightening and pulling in the muscle just from under my nipple up to the height of my arm pit. It is painful when lift any thing with my left arm and when I am driving. this is making my left breast look deformed and it is uncomfortable. Can someone please tell me what this may and is this normal. I have never experienced anything like this before and I will be 40 in a couple of weeks... thank you
I can understand your concern. The breast is one organ that almost always easily presents when there is an abnormality present.
In your specific condition I would advise a physical examination by a doctor. Although you have described your presentation very well, I would be more comfortable looking and examining it myself. So please do visit a doctor for a physical examination followed by a mammogram to clearly visualize the interiors.
The breast is a complex organ consisting of fat, lobes, ducts, lobules, various ligaments holding it in place, and so on.
A small cyst, cavity, inflammation, growth or even infection can cause the breast to look distorted. Which is why I would not comment on the cause, but please do visits a doctor who shall surely be able to diagnose and treat the condition to make your breasts look normal as they once were. I am sure you will be fine.
Take care.
