Im new to this forum.  I've got a tender area near my sternum just to the side of my right breast.  I am also getting an ache which can be anywhere from under my breast, under my arm, around to my back or near my shoulder.  I also have more of a pronounced knob on the end of my clavicle near my sternum.  Does anyone else have this?

It's horrendous, mine usualy accompanies my anxiety, therefor making my pain worse, in turn making me more anxious , vicious circle! X

    Hi Julie, yes I have all of these things too sad Just been to the breast clinic for the second time in a year to check nothing sinister going on as have thickening in the right breast too. Have to say that the pain has eased a lot since I got the all clear again so definitely it is worse with anxiety! Going back to the GP soon to try and whittle it down from costo, peri-menopause or referred pain from my neck - oh joy lol! Hope you get some answers soon but try not to worry x

    I am new to this forum also but have been having this same problem on my left side for a year and a half. It use to come and go but the last 7 or 8 months it hasn't let up. 

    I've gone through all the same test it seems that a lot of people have and so far everything checks out good. I was wondering if any of the ladies out here can recommend a bra to wear??  I am having such a hard time finding something that doesn't make my pain worse. 

    Take care and praying for relief for everyone.
