Does anyone else have pain in the breasts? I was told after a mamogram and an ultrasound that I had a complex cyst in my left breast which the doctor wants to drain and send to the lab.
I told him about my IC and he suggested asking you guys if it might be related. (this was a general surgeon who didn't seem to know about IC)
I've asked my Urogyn about it, but he seems to think it's minor compared to my other problems. I think it it's a problem when something hurts that bad. I've been alternating my heating pad between my stomach and my chest every 15- 20 min., which the GS. said was actually what he would have told me to do anyway. :)
I go for the procedure March 22, so until then, I'm still looking for answers to link this to the IC and the Pelvic Congestive Syndrome.
Any help would be great.

Thanks and God Bless,
KK

Hi-
I have fibro-cystic breasts and they sure do get sore at times. I also have calcification.. I have had one cyst drained.. and just recently had to have a guided biopsy.. I have to have another mammo in 6 months..
I have never even thought about it being related to IC..
For cysty breast pain I was told to stay away from Chocolate. cheese and anything with caffine..
Hope all goes well for you..

Thanks for your response. My doctor said to stay away from caffeine too. I let him know that I haven't had any since Nov when I was first told I may have IC and given the "diet".
