Question 1

42, female w small breast. normal mammogram last week exp. random tingling, numbness, heaviness in right breast. seeking cause & treatment?

Accepted Answer

Clinical Breast exam: If not already done, a clinical breast exam(cbe) done by your doctor is the first step to find the cause. Since your mammogram is normal, i doubt that we will find anything obvious to explain the cause of your breast symptoms, so visit your doctor for cbe; if it is normal, then i would not worry about anything else and treat this discomfort with a mild pain medicine like 2 tabs of tylenol (acetaminophen) as needed.

Question 2

i have this pain that originate under my left arm and the causes numbness in my arm and moves over my left breast and up my neck. ?

Accepted Answer

ER-NOW!: Do not ignore these symptoms. Have a friend or family member transport you immediately to the ER. Your symptoms are suggestive of heart disease. Please go immediately or call 911 for transport. I also suggest chewing up 2 baby aspirin now.

Question 3

left armpit feels numb and numbness goes down arm a little ways. what can cause this? also my left breast has been feeling heavy.

Accepted Answer

Disc: Low cervical disc herniation can cause this. Also bravcial plexus is under the arm- it is a bundle of nerves- so stretching or pressure on it can give these symptoms too v.

Question 4

can breast pain that leads to numbness be caused by the neck?  (also upper arm) 2 yrs ago had c5-7 fusion and now  having problems above & below

Accepted Answer

Numbness : Pain that lead to numbness in the upper arm can be related to a neck problem from c4-6. It is unlikely that it explains the symptoms in the breast. A dermatome MAP can better illustrate this.  The sensory representation over the breast comes from upper thoracic spine. Search dermatome MAP online.

Question 5

breast pain that is constant burning, itching, pinching causes numbness in the right armpit and underarm no change for past year just pain and no lump?

Accepted Answer

See doctor: This problem seems to be a pinched nerve,see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Question 6

what would cause an area of the breast to become numb and discolored?

Accepted Answer

Inflammatory brst ca: Inflammatory breast cancer occurs suddenly, with discoloration, pain, numbness, bruising, swelling or itching.  Mammograms are often negative-- tumor cells grow in a sheet and don't form a lump.  It is very fast-growing and spreads quickly.  Immediate chemotherapy is needed. If there has been no injury to the breast, a numb discolored area should be seen immediately by a doctor. Ask about IBC.

Question 7

what could cause a spot in my right breast feel numb?

Accepted Answer

Not cancer: Nothing that is dangerous.  Your young for cancer and that's not a presenting sign.  It's likely that u are focusing too hard on the issue.  Are you concerned about cancer for some reason? Not saying i'm right, go in if concerned, but isolated numb spot over breast is not the presentation of any disease of which I am aware. Gd luc.

Question 8

what would cause part of a breast to be numb with covering discolored skin? the area next to it is painful if slight pressure is applied?

Accepted Answer

??More info??: This should be evaluated by your OB-GYN since your Pregnant and breast abnormalities which occur during Pregnancy need immediate medical evaluation!

Question 9

what would cause part of the breast to be numb and the covering skin to be discolored? the area next to it is quite painful if pressure is applied?

Accepted Answer

See a doc: See a doctor for a proper physical exam - breast pain and discoloration can be indicative of many things such as infection, skin irritation and less rarely cancer.

Question 10

right breast and arm feels numb/weak. both heats up to the point it feels cold. right hand as well followed by tingles. lower back. any ideas/causes?

Accepted Answer

Depends on details: Pay careful attention to what part of right arm and breast are numb.  "Heats up toe the point it feels cold" may be autonomic dysfunction.  Pay attention to specifically what part of arm tingles.  If low back is related then combination of arm and low back in setting of otherwise healthy young woman may mean stress biology (in which case tests probably normal).  Quite treatable after diagnosis.
