    Still so worried..ladies? :(

    It's this same under arm,breast pain..it is always on the left side. the side of my breast connected to the arm pit is sore and actually right under my breast almost at the bone is sore..And it is making my left arm feel weak and strange and I am terrifed it is breast cancer..

    The pain worsens then dies down,coes and goes but it is always there I think and I dunno what to do. I'm only 22

    Does anyone else experience this? I think I will go mad if it is something horrible :(

    Sounds like you have probably pulled a muscle.

    What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    i have had and still continue to have , pain in one or both breasts(it changes all the time) and moves around, can be gripping , stabbing or burning pain, it wasnt related to my periods, because it would just happen randomly and not in my cycle, went to the doctors she examined me and said it was nothing to worry about and gave me evening primrose oil which helped a lot, that was a few years ago, and i still have it occasionally, have you been to the doctors? or are you worried about going?

    I get a pain in my left breast too. Have done so for the last year and I think that it is probably related to my period. When I mentioned it to my doctor she said any breast pain should be viewed in terms of when your cycle is. I never got breast pain before last year, but notice that it gets worse a before my period and then stops for a couple of days then just starts up again. Also I find it gets worse if I start prodding and poking looking for lumps!! It also eases if I relax a bit about it. Doesn't really ever go away as I am never fully relaxed.

    Hope that this helps.

    I think you have probably pulled a muscle or something and also the pain probably seems worse because you are thinking about it so much.

    I think they normally say with things like breast cancer it is less likely to actually hurt anyway xx

    Hello Wee-Mee,

    I don't think you have anything to worry about, and as has been mentioned before, I am sure it is something to do with muscular tension. I have had this on and off for many years, and I do know how disturbing it can be. I find if I massage the area very gently - don't go prodding and poking - for a couple of minutes it helps to reduce the tension in that area.

    Re: Still so worried..ladies? :(

    Thanks for the replies people. I'm just real worried..naturally

    Adam,I don't think I have pulled a muscle cos it has been happening far too long,on off for over a year but has been progressively worse past few months.. :(

    Pollyanna: I had thought it was related to my period also,like I do get really sore breasts when I am due my period but I have had this too like you say when I'm not due and it is just so odd,it moves about..Sometimes I have had to literally sit down and grab my boob in public because sharp pains just shoot right through me. And others like just now,it is just a dull gnawing pain and it feels like it is over the top of my ribs aswell now! It helps to lie on the side that is sore. I haven't been to the doctor but I am going to get an appointment tomorrow..My chest is away again with a tickly cough and I'm scared the doc will think I'm having "one of my episodes" and not look at me properly

    forourfuture:YES! It does get worse prodding looking for lumps..I can't find a lump,thank God the way my mind works I have it that because I am rather and annoyingly actually large breasted,I am scared that there is too much tissue there to feel any lumps.. blahhhh :(

    cassy:that is what I am holding onto just now..that cancer usually does not hurt but you know how it is with HA..

    When I got up this morning it felt slightly better and I had my usual cup of coffee and it literally just hit me again..

    Could cofee be making this worse?

    I know it isn't a nice feeling, especially when the pain comes on sharp, and also when you have a constant ache. With me the ache seems to last all the while i am thinking about it. I have quite large breasts too, and I sometimes wonder if it has something to do with ill fitting bra. Most of them seem to be underwired these days, which doesn't help. Try to massage the area gently, and perhaps wear a soft sports bra for a while.

    Don't worry Wee-Mee the chances of this being any sinister is very very unlikely.

    I can't pin point the pain,if that makes sense...it's just a rather strange dull ache and the left side practically down my arm too alll feels heavier :(
