Women, Do any of you have breast pain, not just soreness, but sometimes..........?

Question

Does any women have breast pain? I have usually stabbing or searing or a ripping or tearing pain in usually one breast. I have been to doctors and surgeons in which I have had lumps removed, but continue to have the pains even after the surgeries. I was told by the last surgeon. "We only worry if it doesn't hurt, because cancer doesn't hurt". I even went for a second opinion when I found out the second surgeon left a small piece of metal in my breast. He said it won't do any damage, and it would be worse to do more surgery to take it out because of scar tissue, just will still be there when I get my mammograms. The second opinion was worse than the second surgeon. I figure that my hormones must be causing these sharp searing pains. My first surgeon retired sometime after the first lump was removed in 1994. All the lumps were fine. There were 4 removed in the 2 surgeries. I was hoping that the second set of surgeries would elimate the pains, but they come and go off and on.

Answer 1

First of all don't believe what that first doc said. My grandma had pain and it ended up being cancer. I am not trying to worry you, but keep up on having that checked out. Second of all i get pains as well. however its usually because its when my period comes. One more thing. If you ever get more lumps, Always have them checked out. My mom had a lump in her neck. Docs told her not to worry. 10 years later the thing grows so big that they think that she had cancer. Thank God it was not, but they had to remove it and had to do a nerve graft. She was unable to move her right arm. ALWAYS get a second opinion. Wish you well.

Answer 2

With all those surgeries, there is a good chance you have some scar tissue in your breasts and that can pull or hurt. Still, it would be a good idea to get the second opionion others have suggested just to be safe.
