I am diagnosed with RA since 7 or 8 months. I'm on MTX 20 weekly inmjections and plaquenil 400 daily. I feel a relative improvement (not totally pain free, flaring now and then) . I recently feel a jabbing short pain in my left breast, especially around and in the nipple's area.

Has any one experienced this? Is it the RA or the meds?

    Do you have lumps in them? Mine hurt sometimes on my breast, not nipple, when they do I feel lumps, but sometimes it's just my nipple (s ) but mine feels like someone's holding a match to them. I was told it was fibrocyctic breast disease. I maybe wrong but who knows. Hope you get to feeling better
