I have done this so many times. My doctor finally agreed that I should not do self breast checks. I felt breast so many times one time that I made a bruise. The breast is filled with all kinds of lumps. If you don't know what you are feeling, it can be scarry.
Once I felt something so I ran to the doctor. He sent me to do an ultrasound. Well the radiologist told me that it was some tissue that was holding up my breast and because it was over the rib, it felt hard. Deneb, I have done what you have done about 5 times. My doc said that I could go to him every six months instead of every year to rest my mind.
Get your mom to check it and schedule an appt with the doc asap so that you can be at ease. Not that I think there is something, but because until a doc tells you that you are fine you will be filled with anxiety. Once you see that you are fine, please do not do anymore self checks.Other people might not panic, we panic.
