What dr would you go see?

OK so this has been going on since last Thurs and let me tell you the thoughts that have crossed my mind are driving me crazy.  I have this discomfort pain under my left breast.  I first thought is it the new bras I bought?  I got the wonderbra's for the first time because I needed the lift and I am small breasted.  By the end of the day I have been in so much discomfort.  I have had these bras for about 2 weeks. When I breath in really deep that is when it hurts the most.  Can a bra really do this?  So I have switched back to my old bra's just in case and tried not to wear a bra as much as I couldn't this weekend.   It seemed like it would get better but after wearing bra for a certain amount of time it would come back.

A couple weeks ago I got really sick. Asthma inflamed.  I coughed for about 2 weeks and then last week just had coughing rough spasm.  Now the coughing is gone. Could I have hurt one of my ribs?

So would I go to my gyno since it is right under my breast or should I just go to the regular dr?

Believe me I have felt for lumps and so has my husband.  It is tender to touch when I press really hard and it seems like is more on my rib area.  

I know nobody probably can answer all my question but I am thinking the worst and I just need to go to find out.  

Re: What dr would you go see?

  • It sounds like your bra to me. It's possible it bruised you where it was cinching too tight. Give it another day or two with your old bras and see if it doesn't get better. I know those lifting bras tend to manhandle the ladies - so it's entirely possible it wasn't fitting right and did that.

    But, to answer your question, you could probably see your reg. doc.

  • I would just go to your regular doctor, then let him/her decide if they feel you need to see a specialist or someone else. I would bet it's from the bra, though, as Myrall said.

    ETA: YES, you can definitely bruise your ribs from coughing. A friend of mine bruised 2 of her ribs about a month ago from coughing. She had an awful respiratory infection, which led to some seriously painful bruised ribs.

  • I would probably just see your regular doctor and they'll be able to help you out more and run scans/tests to find out what's going on. It definitely could be the bra though and it's just still irritated when you wear your old ones again.

  • It sounds like your bra or a muscle pull from when you were sick. I'd start with your PCP.

  • Like others have said, it does sound like your bra.  I can't wear underwire bras because the wire has bruised me before--I use the wiresless from VS (they are heaven).

    Also, it could be inflamed cartlidge around your rib cage.  I had this happen to me from both coughing and lifting weights.  It's very painful.  I went to see my regular doctor and they had to do a cortizone shot.

    I hope you feel better soon!!
