Anyone had their Boobs checked at the Dr's?

I had it done years ago and it hurt!! She pressed down on my boob as far as she could and did small circular movements

Just had them checked tonight as I had pain ages ago in my Boob then the pain has move into my arm pit and now down that side of my back.

I was worried so she did a check up, But this Dr just did very gentle movements and very very gentle prodding

Am worried as I am not sure she would have found a lump if there was one as she was so gentle

If you have had yours checked, how gentle were they?

I've had them done by the practice nurse several times, they check them when they do a smear. They have always been gentle, and it's never been painful. Many years ago I had a lump removed and again, none of the doctors or consultants I saw hurt me when they examined me, and they all managed to find the lump.

I think maybe you were just unlucky with the GP who hurt you.

Same. No pain and no problem finding small lump.
