What a pain in the butt boob

For a couple of weeks not I have been having some pain in my left breast. I am starting to think that every time I have a twinge of pain in my body I need to put it on a calendar in case I have to make an appointment for it. I certainly look like an idiot when I cant exactly pinpoint when an issue started. It might also have to do with the fact I also have to keep track of 4 kids aches and pains too.
Anyways, back to the boob. I thought maybe I had injured it while climbing under Kiley's bed in search of her Wall-E game for her leapster. Or, maybe CJ had squished it in one of his attempts to climb me in the middle of a tantrum. I had been searching for lumps to make sure the pain was not from some scary C word. I couldnt find any "lumps"... I guess I dont know exactly what I am looking for because the doc didnt take long today to find a "lump" that could be "a cyst or blocked duct" .... so, tomorrow I get to go in for an ultrasound to try and rule things out. I have to admit that I am scared. I was hoping to go in today and have them just find something muscular and send me out with the Navy favorite of Vitamin M* and be done with it. But no. I guess my body has other ideas. I feel like a decrepit old person. Between the issues with my right leg which are not resolved and I have to schedule physical therapy for. The constant nagging of my symptoms from my Hashimoto's disease (hypothyroid) and NOW THIS..... I CANT stand it. Next week is my annual GYN grand opening appointment. Maybe he will have some more insight in to this problem too. I think it stems from getting my tubes tied but who am I? Oh, and I had an issue in the same breast back in 2005/2006 when we were living in Texas. Dont know where that history went to.... my record looked pretty puny today... So, Who knows. I dont think they saw anything spectacular back then either. We will see. Tomorrow, boob probing. Oh, and for the record, I have not nursed my son since April of last year... but maybe this is in correlation to my menstrual cycle..... Dont know. So, if you can, please keep my in your prayers that this is something benign.... Thank you.
