Is this normal?

Im currently waiting for a phone call from the breast clinic, doctor refered me urgent on the basis of pain and soreness in my boob, disharge and pain around my nipple. (She also said my glands are prominent) so ive had a feel yesterday and under my right nipple and areola i can feel a very large deep indent (i can almost touch my ribs) however i cant feel that on my left, does anyone else have this? Is it a normal part of the breast and just being paranoid becuase if going to tests? Im just curious as to if what i felt is a nornal part to the breast or not?

 

Edit, i feel this when lying down. Theres not really any change i can see visible when sitting up and sotting raising my arms

Thank you x

  • Hi there ...

    I know it's really scary time ... but most lumps are benign. . I had 4 call backs from mamorgrams were all clear... though it is unusual to be able to feel a rib ... 

    But my boobs were nateraly lumpy ... so fingers crossed yours will be o.k .. but there's lots of us breast lasses on here ... that are fighting back ... and doing o.k ... let us know how you go ... Chrissie x

  • Thank you for your reply!  Im going out of my mind waiting for this appointment! I havent felt a lump and neither could the doctors, she just said she can feel my milk glands (they are very peoniment as she put it) the thing that was worrying me was the 'hole/dip' not sure what to call it to be honest. Its like i feel behind the nipple and areola on the right (the side the usual pain and tenderness is from) and i feel a big big 'hole' and like the walls of the tissue around it have such a defined edge that i can feel, almost like if youve dug a hole in the sand thats how it feels if that makes sence. The walls are like that would be but bumpy when the tissue is but then the hole is really deep but then my left i only have a slight 'normal' dip and can feel the tissue under the nipple. Ive been trying to find if such a hole is normal? As its only on the painful side. But i dont seem to get a reply anywhere else ive asked :( xx

  • Hi ya ...

    I'm really sorry, I'm having trouble with accepting friend request ... I have asked the nurses or moderators ..  to look into it ... but at least l can answer you on here .. so I'll deff look out for you ..

    Try not to keep feeling the hole as you could make it sore ... try to hang on till you get an appointment.. it should come through quite quickly ... if not chance it up with your G P ..

    Let us know how it goes ... it is a scary time .. so try and keep as busy as poss ... Chrissie x

  • Thats ok :).. yes i know its sore as it is so cant keep doing so anyway, yes ive spoken to the hospital as the doctors gave me all the info on my referal and on that letter it says to ring the number on the 26th if i havent heard yet, theyve just said they are waiting for a consultants appointment space to slot me into then will get in touch as soon as they have but i will get one by the 5th, its the not knowing, im one of these that need an answer. My anxiety is through the roof. Ive had work and the kids to keep me busy also my mom is keeping me busy on her days off too, she came over today and qe had a shopping trip which really helped take my mind off it all for most of the day. Thank you so much for you help, feel so lonely eventhough im not is that nornal? It feels like noone understands what im feeling :/ but i know they do xx
