What Does A Painful Lump On The Left Breast Indicate?
I had a mammogram two days ago. By that evening, I had a big painful lump on the left side of my left breast. Now is bigger and swollen. I called the center and they said that I did have a cyst over there. I m wondering if the compressin from the mammogram did something to cause the cyst to be inflamed
