Okay, I know I shouldn't be worried about this, but no matter what I'm doing, there's a little voice in the back of my mind reminding me of what's wrong.
It was only three days before my period when I noticed the pain. My left breast was aching. At first I was sure it was the normal tenderness I got in my nipples before my period. But this time it was different. The pain was pulsing throughout my entire breast. When I touched it, pain shot through my body and I noticed that my breast was rock hard. After feeling around some, I found a lump.
Now, I would've immediately freaked out and called the doctor if this had not happened before. When I was 10 or 11 I had found lumps in my breasts, and the doctors reassured me they were just cysts. Harmless but occasionally painful. I researched breast cysts online and found out that to help with the pain I could take Vitamin E.
It's been about a week and the pain has alleviated. The only problem is that I've been taking 800 mg of Vitamin E a day since Thursday June 26. I started my period three days later. The pain is going away, but does that mean the pain was caused by my period or does it mean the Vitamin E took care of the pain?
I went to the doctor on Monday, June 30 and I have an ultrasound on my breast scheduled for Thursday July 10. I wouldn't be so worried if it weren't for the fact that the doctor said that the pain was a good sign. But the pain is gone now. So is that a bad sign?
Stressed over a breast!!!
