Palpable Lump not visible on scans..what now?

Exactly my question. I've been googling all morning whether or not it's possible to tell, and no, she didn't explain to me how she could tell that it was a fatty lump when she palpated it. It's hard, not squishy. And my breast aches, which, according to her, it shouldn't. What she said was nothing shows on any of the scans, so it's breast tissue. It feels hard because it's behind dense tissue. Take Tylenol. I walked out of there feeling like I'm a hypochondriac because I have pain and "shouldn't." But, if I felt with 100% degree of certainty that she was correct and could tell, I would not worry. I just don't.

Just to follow up: My biospy revealed nerve involvement which I was told could explain the pain... I don't think pain should ever be ignored.

I would go somewhere else for a second and than a third opinion if necessary. I started watching this today (I haven't finished but it was good). I believe one of the Dr's had a situation as you do, and it was C. https://youtu.be/4XOmuJYkMjc?feature=shared
If the link isn't good, it was called "The Doctor is in". A group of at least 4 Dr's discussing ILC. I wish you the best of luck and that it does turn out to be nothing.
