I have had non-cyclical breast pain/soreness for about 2 years now (I have had ME for about 9 yrs btw). It started a few months after I stopped having Perrin treatments. Before and during Perrin treatments I had not experienced breast pain/soreness.
I am therefore wandering if it is connected to Perrin treatments in some way? Perrin works on the theory that ME patients have some sort of lymphatic drainage problem and need special massage to get it all working properly. I wasn't sure when I was having the treatments if they were helping so I gave them up after a few months. But now I am wondering if there is something in this lymphatic drainage theory. I experience breast pain/soreness at the side of my breasts where the lymph nodes lie, especially on the left breast. Could it be that the pain is being caused by some sort of lymphatic blockage or something?
I have gone to the doctors and to the breast specialists at the hospital. They say they can't find a problem with the breasts and just said to try Evening Primrose Oil. But this doesn't make sense to me as Evening Primrose Oil is for cyclical breast pain. I experience this pain every day of the month, and it doesn't get any worse before periods.
Does anyone else get breast pain? Or have any idea what could be causing this? It is at its worst when I lie on my side, especially the left hand side (though both hurt). Bras also are painful now.
I would talk to my old Perrin practictioner about this, but I have trouble understanding him. Was one of the reasons I left.
Thanks, x
