BREAST PAIN?

[Guest guest]

I HAVE SHARP PAIN HIT ME LIKE A KNIFE IS GOING INTO IT. OTHER TIMES IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HAS TWISTED IT. LIGHT TOUCH MAKES ME CRY AND OTHER TIMES IT FEELS LIKE MY HUSBAND PINCHED ME WHEN HE DIDN'T. I HAVE YET FOUND ANOTHER CAUSE OTHER THAN POSSIBLE COSTOCHONDRITIS. I HAVE HAD BREAST EXAMS AND MAMMOGRAMS. ALL NORMAL. NO LUMPS. I TAKE A 2 LITER BOTTLE AND EITHER HAVE HOT WATER IN IT OR FREEZE IT. DEPENDS ON WHAT I CAN HANDLE THAT DAY. ALSO AT TIMES THE LYMPH GLANDS IN MY AXILLARY REGION SWELL. SO THIS TREATMENT HELPS THIS ALSO.

Take a look here: http://www.breakthrough.org.uk/about_breast_cancer/diagnosis/benign_breast_condition_diagnosis/fibrocystic.html Pam URGENT--I'm Frightened Out Of My Wits--And Don't Know What To Do!!! Last night--in bed (in my nightgown--with of course no bra on)--I brushed up against something that felt odd in my right breast. (on the underside) I keep trying to tell myself that I'm imagining it--but I

also don't really think that I am! The trouble is--I'm not really sure what to do about it. I mean obviously I need to get it checked out. Only by whom? Heck--I don't even have a doctor--and I just got health insurance again on January 1st. (after almost a year without it) So--I have no doctor--no energy--and no money. What to do? Look--I know you guys can't diagnose anything. But I also know that someone probably knows exactly where I should start. Has anyone else been through this? If so--do you have any words of wisdom? My husband called me from work a little while ago. I REALLY wanted to tell him this--but didn't want to freak him out at work--so I didn't. So I'm sitting here at home--trying to do the things that I need to do--with only my kids for company--going

crazy!!! This just feeds into my worst fear. As my grandmother died of cancer before I was born (stomach--not breast)--and as the first child of her first child--in the back of my mind I have always been afraid of dying young of cancer like she did!!! I keep trying to stay positive--but that's not really working at the moment!!!!! hugs,
