Reading the discussions has just made me think about all the needless procedure I've had. At 40 ( 5'6 and 125 lbs) I had an echo, then cardiac cath for skipping heart.
Breast surgery the next year to remove a lump mostly because of breast pain. Still have the pain and a lymph node under my arm that swells off and on and at times...back after starting meds three weeks ago...is very sore. Anyone else with lymph node issues?

Hi,

I had never experienced breast pain before getting Lyme- sure a little tenderness at times in the past- but usually related to menses

A couple of months ago I developed a small nodule...seems it's a small fluid cyst...although I haven't had a biopsy.

I imagine that once the Lymphs start having to work overtime- it only makes sense that the breast tissue would be involved as well-

I found that spending time in a sauna really helped the lymph pain-

I'm very sorry to hear that you had tissue removed- must be very frustrating to have breast pain again!

I have wondered if massage might help as well with lymphatic drainage...

I think you deserve one!

Wishing you better health-
Sarah

I used to feel really bad breast nipple pain. It almost felt like I was lactating?

Although I don't know what that feels like.

My lymph nodes under my arms and on my neck hurt off and on.

My symptoms have decreased since taking rx.

Hope you get relief

Heather
