Yes, me. I get in one breast. Then another. Most months on and off. Had me breasts checked last week. All okay. Pains are hormonal for me. Can be quite distressing if you've seen my earlier posts.
When did you last have a breast check?
My boobs are (for about three weeks out of four) big and hot and lumpy and painful. Painful as in tender to touch but also just of their own accord.

Hi Catkins, do you have any problems around the shoulder blade or the area below your armpit? The reason I ask is, three years ago I was having pain along the outside of my left breast, sometimes sharp, sometimes niggling and it turned out to be a skeletal issue. A physio diagnosed issues with the discs in my neck, which in turn caused problems in other areas.
I must stress though that I did get my boob checked out throughly too.

Yes, I have pain, a stabbing, then it goes to a niggly pain, but in the middle,
slightly over to the right breast.
It normally happens to me when I increase my hrt, then disappears when I drop back down.
It used to worry me, but now I know what it is, I don't stress about it so much.

As long as you get yourself checked every now & again,pains in you breasts are quite common & cysts are very common,I've had a few drained but apparently they're safe to leave.Always check yourself,very important
