breast swelling and tenderness

ShivIT

For some reason my breast have been swollen and sore for 3 months.
I have now begun to notice painful swollen lymph nodes on the right side. I haven't talked with my GP yet.
Does anyone now if this is related to the fibromyalgia?

Well being a woman they obviously get swollen every once and a while. Maybe it's hormones. I also have to admit it's nice to have breasts. I'm not usually very big. Your right I guess I should see my doc.

The Only time my Breasts have ever swollenTender is when I was pregnant..
But my Lymphnodes did not swell..

Hormones can make Breasts Very Sore, Tender..and yes, Slightly Swollen during your cycle...but that usually does Not Involve the Lymphatic System..and usually does not stay that way..comes and goes kinda thing..

Sorry...I Guess Your Question caught me off guard...instead of just putting things off to "Fibro"...always Best to get things checked...ASAP.

I Do Hope it is just some bouncing Hormones !

I agree with Dakota, dont be messing around. Get your mammogram an ultrasound and double check.

I have experienced some of the same swelling, but it kinda comes and goes. I had a lump in my armpit and was sent for a mamograhm and ultrasound. All came back good, better to be safe than sorry :)

I'm kinda there with DakotaRose - THREE MONTHS? REALLY?

PLEASE get checked out immediately - this is NOT a fibromyalgia symptom.
