Breast Pain? - Broomfield,CO

Hi D. I was just having sort of the same thing and went to the doctor and they said it was a form of mastitis. I had some clogged ducts, same thing I haven't breast feed in years but she said you can get it from bumping or bruising it somehow. Anyway about the no insurance thing I also have the same situation since I have switched jobs to stay at home and have had abnormal paps I cant get insurance. However when you go to the doctor you just tell them you dont have insurance and you actually get better prices then if you had insurance and if you can pay the same day you usually get a discount on top of that. Yesterday my office visit was 81.00 and 57.00 after discount and my prescription was 4.00. Just be honest and while in there keep telling them you dont have insurance and people will usually lower their rates and work with you. As for the mammogram unfortunately I haven't had to have one without insurance so I am unsure but hopefully it will work out good as well. I will be praying for you.

D.,
I have a friend that works with people without insurance.
The website is www.innercityhealth.com. The phone number is ###-###-#### . Address is 4200 W. Conejos PL LL5, Denver,CO. 80204. There might be a office closer but they deal with all health issues including dental.

I hope this helps. It is scarry to be alone and not feel well especially being a single parent and everything.
God help you and bless you.

If you need someone to go with you, let me know.

Good luck. I've been through a similar situation which wasn't serious - but if you need a mammo - check out the People's clinic in Boulder. Depending on your financial situation, they may be able to help. They fund mammos through the Susan B Komman Foundation, and others.

It could be just a clogged duct!?
My neighbor gets them all the time and is shocked that I don't. She says they are hard painful lumps and she has to massage them out.
Perhaps see if you can go to a low cost clinic and pay just a drop in fee. They can at least determine if is just something minor and you can go from there.

I had the same type of symptom start a few years ago. I am 44 years old and learned that it was a symptom of perimenopause. It was a symptom of estrogen dominance where the hormones are dropping but the estrogen doesn't drop as rapidly as the progesterone. I went on low dose birth control pills to regulate my period which was out of wack also(I had also just started a new relationship and needed to prevent pregnancy) and I started progesterone cream (found at any Whole Foods or Vitamin Cottage) which really seemed to help a lot. So, when you are able to see a doctor you might request they do a test to see where those hormone levels are and see if it might just be perimenopause.

I too don't have insurance and have learned to be very proactive when it comes to my physical well-being. I do research and ask lots of questions so I can maximize any visits to the doctor.

If you are interested in the mind-body connection, I have learned that self-care and self-nurturing are definitely a connection for breast issues. For most of my life I gave, gave, gave to everyone but myself. Now I give to me first and then I have much more to share with others.

Best Wishes!

Hi, D.. I don't know anything about that, unfortunately, but wanted you to know that I will sure be thinking of you on Thursday and sending love your way.
