You might try going to the emergency room or walk-in clinic - not sure what insurance implications this would have, but if you have an infection, you need to get it treated ASAP, not wait for a regular doctor's appointment. What did either of the first two doctors think?

If your breast is red, hot, painful/itchy, or shows any signs of dimpled skin, this could be an early sign of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). And while this diagnosis would be highly unlikely (please don't stress too much), you do need to have it ruled out, if you're showing any of those symptoms.

Good luck - I hope you get some help very soon. PJH

If there's no swelling/redness, etc., then you could very well be suffering from fibrocystic change, which can be very painful indeed. Next time you see someone, raise the possibility of an ultrasound to identify whether you have a cyst. And in the meantime, many women have found relief from fibrocystic pain by cutting out caffeine; if you're a coffee or tea drinker, you might try that. Sorry you're having to go through this - PJH

Then you need to get someone responsible/knowledgeable to look at it and take your symptoms seriously. Sounds like a trip to the ER might be in order... As I said, if this is an infection, there's no sense letting it get a firmer and firmer hold. I hope you get some help soon - PJH
