One sided breast pain with Fibro?

Do any ladies out there have a gnawing, aching, throbbing, burning type pain in only one breast? My left breast has been bothering me now for close to month. At first I thought it was Costochondrits & I guess it still could be but lately I am not quite sure. My ribs are sore when pressed but nothing to what I have read about the pain should be. The pain is definately in the breast, not coming from under/behind. All tests have come back clean....I'm at a loss, anyone?

    Hi Pam,

    I have only recently been diagnosed with fibromilga, but one of the pressure points the consultant push was under my left Breast. When he touched it I jumped off the chair and could of hit him. It hurt so much. I do have pain I'm my ribs in that area and and aching in my breast too. It hurts to wear a bra against it sometimes.

    I thought I'd reply so you know your not the only one!

      Hi Gem, is your pain constant for weeks or just sporadic pain that come & go?

      If I'm poked and prodded then the pain flares up for a while. Otherwise it hurts if I lie on it funny or if I wear anything too tight around my ribs.

    I can't wear a bra it's too painful both under my breast and the breast itself but it varies one side or the other.

    Hi Pam

    like the others I have only just been diagnosed but in Gems words I nearly punched the Dr too, so get the pain in the ribs but the other thing I have in my breast (only one side) is nipple pain, as though it's cold but not cold at all, a sharp pain then seems to shoot from the left of me boob to the nipple over the next few days, then it goes again. There is no pattern to this. How often do you get the pain?

      Hi Chellie, my pain has been pretty constant not for close to month, how long does your pain last?

      Hi Pam sorry for not replying sooner. The pain I get lasts for minutes to hours. Literally some days it's several times, quick sharp pain then nothing, then other days it wake me up and stays all day. Reading on it seems to be part of Fibro. You've had tests, but has the Dr just left it at that? All tests ok so go away? Hope you've found some relief, heat then ice the heat swapping over every ten mins works for my pain just as if I'd strained a muscle, be careful with both heat and cold, ensure if you use it you can stand the temp on your forearm first or you could hurt yourself .x

      Hi Pam

      Sorry, previous message not clear.

      It's NOT constant pain but does come and go especially when I overdo it in day to day tasks. More noticeable during my monthly....

    Yes I too get breast pain mostly in the left breast. It can last about a month and usually the surounding area is very tender as well. It does get worse during my cycle. Some months no pain and others excruciating pain. My main problem lately , for months, is pain in my upper left arm. Nothing is helping me either other then heating pad. My dr. Wants me to try amatriptaline but im hesitant.

    I wish us all some pain relief soon.
