Today I have the most uncomfortable heavy breasts and keep getting a pain at the outside of my right boob. Have checked them over on obvious jumps or bumps. Anyone else suffer from breast pain?? Any advice?? I'm peri menopause with irregular periods could this be another wonderful symptom?? Thanks in advance ladies. Sheena xxx
That should have said no obvious lumps... Bloody predictive text haha xx
Hi sheena yes sheena sore breasts are. amongst lots of other symptoms. Feels like I have all the symptoms of premenopause going.
Hi sheena what are your other sypthoms of menopause i have a underactive thyroid which im on meds for also periods all over the place im waiting to have a ultrasound scan on the 7 th feb which im worried sick about
Me too. I'm in the process of changing my gp to hopefully someone more knowledgeable, understanding and supportive.
I've had haywire periods since this time last year, along with about 23 of the 66 symptoms. I'm taking vitamin d, e, evening primrose and cod liver oil. Don't really want to go down hrt if I can get away with it. Do you take anything for sore boobs?? X
Irregular periods, bone pain (vitamin d low), greasy hair, no interest in sex, mood swings, hot all the time, flare up of psoriasis, dry eyes, sore mouth, back ache, doom and gloom thoughts, worry and anxiety, general fatigue, sore joints. It's just a roller coaster of ever changing symptoms, mental and physical. I never have 2 weeks the same. What about you?? X
And now I'm sitting in tears because my hurricane is away till Friday, I'm dealing with 2 hormonal teenage girls and I'm obviously dying as I have breast cancer..... The mental problems of this peri menopause are horrendous. I've got health anxiety and it elevates every time another symptom comes around...... Aaarrrggghhh!!!!! I need a bath (with the door shut ) some comfort food and my bed. Squishy hugs to everyone xxx
No sheena went to the gynecologist and they would not put me on hrt. told me to go to the doctors and get antiperspirants cause I get really low days mood swings crying feel am going mad.
My husband not a hurricane haha
Same here hubby away got a hormonal daughter am all over the place. Look forward going to work as my work colleagues make me laugh there a great bunch.
That's all my gp would offer me, I'm not depressed I'm in peri menopause but they wouldn't listen even though my bloods agreed. Why would they not give you hrt?? Any reason??
What did you gp say? Have you been diagnosed. Mine took ages felt like no one believed me. Then that I was obviously seriously ill. Eventually saw a nurse who listened and did my bloods two months running and confirmed I was peri.
I just come on here for advice and support now. Xxx
Ditto, it's the laughs that keep me sane I have awesome work mates and friends. Big hugs to you xxx
Still waiting for blood results. I think cause I have the coil in which helped with my virginal dryness that was herrnidous the pain and discomfort but the coils helps that now.
The best thing for this arnica. We use to recommend it to the women in the clinic.
Hey Sheena lots and lots of deep breaths and take that bath with the door shut! Plug in some soothing music and light a candle - sadly sore boobs are part and parcel of what we're going through. They can be MEGA sore that even brushing against something hurts - the pain can be anywhere - I get it as well as aching in the armpit and down my arms thinking I have a hideous disease but after a few days it miraculously disappears and another ugly symptom pops up and says "Hi" really loudly so don't panic - we're all going though it. It's rough but you just have to ride it out - a GOOD day will be around the corner xx
Is this a cream?? X
Thanks for your reply.
Funnily enough my arm pit was tender not yesterday but day before on left side but is fine now. Do your symptoms chop and change regularly. Mine are all over the place and driving me slightly bonkers.
Deep breaths and the release of some tears has worked, I've ran the bath so am now gonna try and chill xxx
It comes in cream or gel, I recommend the gel. Rub it into the area where it hurts. I used it through out all my minor aches & pains on my arms and breast. X
It's called arnica montana.
Definitely chop and change - I don't have sore breasts at the moment but I now have lower back pain and a period type pain that I've had had for about 4 days and it can really hurt at times - it's awful and aching hips and an aching right leg - seriously unfunny. I'm loathing this whole thing but I'm trying my damnest not to let it get me down - it's not going to win!
