i had these symptoms. went to the doc she did mammograms and ultrsounds and sent me home saying that those were clear and that i would just have to learn to live with this painful growing lump in my breast on the inner part near the breast bone. thank god i had enogh sense to demand an mri because she didnt want to give me one. it was the mri that found stage 4 breast cancer growing into my breast bone and ribs. i am now in a med malpractice lawsuit with her while going through chemo. my warning to you is this- see a doc and be persistent. demand an mri! mammos and ultrasound are useless!
