I am wondering if it is menopausal or something more serious. I even tried to find something online but everything was either cancer or heart problems.
I know I need to go to the doctor.
It's a sharp pain that comes and goes in my left breast. around my nipple area. I do not feel a lump or anything but it is sore.
Of course in my mind I keep pulling up that stupid picture of the boob with the parasites in it.
Anyway.
Can you please help me not to worry about this unless and until I have to?

I think it is nothing. Just my boobie being stupid.
I wonder how many times we can say boobie in this thread?

You need to have the 3D mammogram since you have a family history.
Mammograms scare me. I understand they hurt. I don't like that.
But I will have to do it.
boobie.
Boobie!
BOObie...
booBIE!

It's is uncomfortable. If you have smaller boobies it will hurt your boobies more. They only squish your boobies long enough to take a pic of your boobies.

I've had five mammograms. I have big boobs so maybe that is why they didn't hurt. The most I felt was an uncomfortable tugging when they pose you in certain positions for the pictures. I never found them painful at all. My very first one came back positive but, being a nurse, I didn't panic. I know a lot of times they give you a false positive. I had to go back and have another one done and then have a sonogram of my bad boob. It turned out to be a fat deposit, yes I have fat EVERYWHERE, in my boob. But it was my baseline so now they just compare it to my baseline and I'm fine. The following ones have never been bad.
I have no family history to go on. That scares me sometimes. I don't actually know what runs in my family.

You're welcome. I've seriously never had an issue with them. Although like I said I have big boobs so my experience might be totally different than someone with small boobs. I wouldn't discount someone else saying they were painful. Also, I have a hugely high pain tolerance so what other people think is painful I tend to think is just uncomfortable.

No. Never have. It has never been even talked about by any doctor I have ever seen.

Sooooo? Call you gyn and tell them you need to be scheduled for a mammogram. Geesh. They are your boobies. Take care of them and don't let them kill you.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
With a family history I'd get one right away. I'm pretty sure Medicaid covers it. I know it did for my friend and she was on it.

I asked a doctor about a mammogram about 2 years ago. She told me it wasn't necessary. I didn't have any insurance so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
I asked another doctor last year and he said no need. Not yet. I had Medicaid so I don't know if that had anything to do with it either.
I have medicare and Medicaid now. I am going to make an appointment. I will call Monday. No pain today however.
I am 44.
Boobies are very important. I would probably look weird without them.

I talk to her a lot. I know she'd want to join here even though she doesn't post a lot. I will make sure she gets the info.

You have a family history, Lily. You should have had a mamo at 40 for a baseline.
There are free programs for women without insurance. Ours is called "Every Woman Matters". Call a local clinic and get signed up for the program and get that boobie pic!!

Faith isn't something that keeps bad things from happening. Faith is what helps us get through bad things when they do happen.
And PLEASE don't panic if the first one comes back suspicious. A lot of things can give a false positive. They will only call you back in and do some more tests to check to make sure it isn't something serious. That happened to me and DH was sure I was going to die. I was calm.

I moved here when I was 42. I hadn't had one done yet. That was one of the first things my primary care doc asked me to do.

I have wondered if the lack of insurance and then the type of insurance had a lot to do with what I needed and didn't need.
And if it came down to it, I would get rid of them in a heart beat. I don't plan on needing them for anything.

Have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E and F are the letters used to define bra sizes? If you have wondered why, but couldn't figure out what the letters stood for... It is about time you became informed:
A ... Almost Boobs B ... Barely there. C ... Can't Complain! D ... Damn! DD... Double damn! E ... Enormous! F ... Fake

So we have some implant trials at work. These are used to decide what to put in the patient before the actual implants are opened. I already have DD and I tired some on that made me much bigger...... I hated them! I couldn't do anything because they kept getting in the way.
