Hi Ladies, I have had a painful right breast for a long time, probably close on a yr or more...have checked myself for lumps and the gynae has checked and I have been for a mammo and an ultrasound which showed nothing...I am sure its related to the HRT but sometimes I wonder if its muscular I dont have big boobs but I hate wearing a bra and I do quite a lot of lifting and using my right arm and thought that it could be the tendons pulling a bit, its almost a burning jab that comes and goes....I wouldnt say that the pain is keeping me awake, but it is there and seems to have gotten a bit worse since I started this months Utrogestan, there is no warmth or swelling as I thought it could be a cyst, any ideas.....thankyou :)

It does sound mechanical to me. However it might be a good idea to invest in some good bras. At our time of life everything starts to head south so extra support, even for small breasts is a good idea. Over the years I've progressed from no bra, to maternity bras, then sports bra, regular bras and now I wear underwired bras. If I do go without a bra there is some aching.
Perhaps buy a couple of sports bras, and see how you get on.

Cassie wear a bra sorry but doesnt matter how small u r unless u r flat chested u need support
If your lifting all that is being strained so as much as u hate them go get fitted buy 2 one to wear one to wash
Give it a month if the tests found nothing then look at your lifestyle@ for me its no BRA ur not 18 anymore xxx
