Inverted nipple and tenderness can be due to mammary duct ectasia which is more common as you get older.

Please don't be scared, I think your doc is doing the right thing though.  The reason your nipple has become inverted needs to be investigated and if the mammogram is clear there's every chance you can resume it I'm sure

Always better to be safe than sorry

Wishing you good luck x

It is difficult to be positive when you have symptoms …….
