I ve recently been suffering pain in my left breast. My GP has seen me twice, firstly prescribing me a course of antibiotics, secindly referring me to a specialist for an ultrasound based on finding a lump and red hot skin. I ve been to the scan today, however the doctor was very flippant with me, he didn t scan me, he simply poked my rib cage and told me it was sciatica. As you can imagine I am left a bit confused and feeling like an inconvenience. I m worried it could be an abscess. There s a history of breast problems in my family, and I m still in pain. Can someone kindly advise on wether I should persist and get a second opinion with a different consultant? Sally.
