I'm trying to figure out why I am having recurring lumps in my breast. I've had 2 in my right breast (removed by surgery) and now I have had 2 in my left breast (1 surgery on left so far) all of which grew rapidly within less then a year 1/2 with only a short break in between.

The first surgery I had on my right breast, about 1/4 inch from my incision there was a pen size hole that developed within a few days after surgery. Eventually the hole started to release a lot of blood (soaked the top of my shirt), I bandaged it up and every day after that it yellow, and redish fluids would leak out along with little clumps of white balls. About 2 weeks later I went in and had more surgery on the same breast/area to close up the hole.

Now with this new lump in my left breast, it has (like all the other lumps) have grew to the outer edges of my breast) swelled up, with a red tent with a very warm and tender to the touch.

I have had 1 mammogram about a year ago (after repeatedly asking 5 times to get one and the doctors always telling me I was to young, I am 24 y.o with 4 kids), I have had about 7 ultra sounds, and about 4 manual exams by various doctors. So far all I have got answer wise was a benign cyst.

Other issues I have been having for months....
I have had headaches/migraines pretty much 6x a week for months, if I bend my neck backwards or try to lay on my stomach I get a sudden throbbing pain up the back of my neck and in my head followed by a migraine. I've had back pains, abdominal pains, fatigue, and frequent bathroom urges.

I was diagnosed with..
Depression (mild) and anxiety (mild)

I do smoke cigarettes.
I do not drink any alcohol at all.
I am active.
No allergies.
No family history of cancer or benign cysts.

Can someone maybe shade of light on information or advice?!? I'm really getting sick of dealing with this daily pain.... :(
