I am scheduled for biosphy next week on left breast. I have had left breast pain and a sharp, burning pain under my left shoulder blade. The doctor said that the mass looks like a fibroidenoma (it was oblong and looked very dark in the ultrasound). Both pains started around the same time. Could the mass be blocking a lymph node or duct? I don't know if I should go to the doctor now or wait until the biosphy. The burning in under the left shoulder blade is almost unbearable.

Hi - You didn't mention in your earlier question that you were scheduled for a biopsy... that's good, since they see a mass. If you have burning pain under your left shoulder blade that's nearly unbearable, I'd go to the emergency room. Any time you have pain that bad, it warrants immediate action - and especially on the left side of your chest, since it could indicate a heart problem. Good luck to you - PJH
