Meanon, ladies, and any medical smarties plz help

My mom has been having a pain in her left breast for a few weeks now. She's stubborn and won't go to the doc unless she thinks it's "important".


It comes and goes- she has the pain more when she's laying down adn it is more intense when she's laying down. She prob has it between 3-4 times a day and her breast is tender when it's not actually having the "pain". She says it feels like a sharp throbbing pain like "smashing your finger with a hammer" Heating pads nor naperson have helped.

Any ideas?? XOXO

Good site. I learned a lot myself. Make her go to the doctor.

very good site! i learned something as well. I would make her go see a doctor and have her breasts checked. You can never be too careful.

I agree with everyone else....Mom YOU are "important" I think you should go to the dr instead of dealing with extra anxiety every day as well as pain. To bad dr's don't make house calls anymore.

i give free breast exams...loll, anyway, if its bad enough that she said something then its bad enough to go to the doctor.

Hey sweet faybelle! How about an email every now and then with pics of that handsome son of yours!!!!!

About your mom, she's at the age where she can get wierd aches and pains in all sorts of places. This may be one of them. However, it could also be something else...so she probably should go get it checked. Even if she's stubborn, if it begins to hurt her enough, she'll go. Chances are she is like me in thinking what she doesn't know can't hurt her...but that really isn't a smart way of thinking.

It's threads like this that really demonstrate how well we are all ultimately afraid of our own mortality and those closest to us.

Truth is, Duke, despite our civilised countries and the advances technology we pride to master, the chances that one might die (unexpectedly or not) still are very high .

I do give you the fact that's in our genes to freak out at every little detail, that's how our specie survived :wink: .

Every 12 minutes, one person dies because of a car accident. Every 14 seconds, a car accident results in an injured victim.

Here's something interesting I found:

Top Deadly Diseases of the Developing World - Annual mortality rate

1. Lower respiratory infections 4 million —
2. HIV/AIDS 3 million 39.4 million
3. Malaria 1–1.5 million 300–515 million
4. Diarrhea 2.2 million
5. Tuberculosis 2 million
6. Measles 530,000
7. Whooping cough 200,000–300,000
8. Tetanus 214,000
9. Meningitis 174,000
10. Syphilis 157,000


Inspiring, right? I'm kinda morbid tonight!
