Breast nerve pain

Hello @fue. You may want to look into the symptoms of pleurisy to see if those symptoms sound familiar.

I wonder how long you've been experiencing this pain?

Hi Amanda
Thank you for your reply and suggestion. I have had neuropathy for approximately 10 years. I have recently been having muscle twitches in my torso and assumed it was probably a natural if scary progression. When I hurt my leg, for example, I get referred nerve pain in my torso anyway. But nerve pain on outer breast was a new pain that lasted a couple of days. I think it is unlikely that I have pleurisy after checking symptoms.
I really appreciate that you are there to answer our questions.

Good morning @fue! I have had breast pain, radiating out to my armpit as well. My doctor ordered a mammogram and breast ultrasound. Everything came back perfect. She ruled out cancer, cysts, or enlarged lymph nodes in the surrounding area. It's non-cyclical and not related to exercise or injury. Just a very tender area, with no explanation. I was told it's tender breast tissue and not to worry about it. But it's not going away either and we're heading into month 3 of this.,,

Hi @eastcoastamy
Thank you. Luckily I only experienced it for a couple of days. Hopefully it won't return. I get a lot of wierd symptoms but they seem to come and go. Hopefully that one won't return. Take care. X

This bring back memories. At least 20 years ago, maybe 30, I had intense chronic itching in one of my breasts. This was long before I had other neuropathy symptoms - life was normal. But I was also on Tegretol for seizures (see my other note about Tegretol). I say 20-30 years, because intermingled with this were many dermatologist visits related to scalp itching. And chronic tongue burning and soreness. I took strong a anti fungal (Voriconazole) for at least 10 years. All these things are mixed up in my memories now, but if I took time to untangle them, I’m sure I would find unknown neuropathy as the common thread.

I have severe neuropathy in my feet and up my legs, but for the last year or so I’ve been experiencing the same symptoms in my right breast only and under my arm. I take gabapentin and Lyrica, it doesn’t help much with my feet or my breast. I’m at my wits end. I’m so uncomfortable.

@tjkelley your breast situation needs to be addressed immediately.
I’m not a doctor, however any pain in the breast area is cause for concern.

You are taking both of those drugs together? Most people take one or the other. Did the same doctor prescribe them to you, or 2 different doctors?

I believe you need to speak with your doctor. Tell him/her how you are feeling. If you already have and gotten no answers, find another doctor asap.

Go to the ER if you can’t get treatment now. They should be able to help you with your pain.

Best wishes
