Breast Injury - How long before & how does it manifest itself? - Cancer: Breast Message Board

I have had pain and a bit of a lump in my breast (see previous thread). It is extremely painful.

I now recall (with my husband's help) a severe blow to that breast which occurred about a month ago when we were moving furniture. I am thinking this may be the problem...

Any information on breast injury would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Karie

Hi,

I got elbowed in the breast during a volleyball game (a few years ago so I don't remember exact details). I remember it hurt like crazy at the time but then it felt like it was bruised and was kind of hard where I got hit and it stayed like that for a few weeks at least. Maybe it took a while for a bruise to form and that's why it didn't hurt until now. I don't know if that helps, but I thought I'd share. It happenend to me, hurt like crazy for a long time but went away.

Thanks for this information! It still hurts like crazy and is tender to the touch. I have an appointment tomorrow to have a breast specialist look at it.

Best wishes,
Girl
