Title: Achy breasts amd shoulders after taking bra off
Post by: Lalb1 on November 27, 2020, 10:38:26 PM

Over the last few weeks I've noticed that when I take my bra off st nigh to get ready for bed my breasts really ache for a good 15-30 mins quite badly. They are then tender for about an hour after. Can't lay on them when I get into bed.
My shoulders also feel achy and tender.

Now I'm by no means huge in the breast dept and have to say they've shrunk over the last couple of year.
Just wondered if it's something anyone else has had?

Hi Lilb1,

I get this about three times a year for a good couple of weeks my breast get very very sore and tender when I take my bra off. Especially on the sides like you it last a good 20 minutes or until I fallen asleep.

I do get a ultrasound on my breast every year and a mammogram every second, as my breast tissue is naturally very hard and lumpy. You could try evening primrose oil tablets. I’m not really sure they make much different.

I just assume it hormones that make my breast sore
