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?

    yep i have this too, usually in the left breast. pain was so bad my doctor sent me for tests on my heart but all came back fine.  In the end the consultant surmised it could be inflamation in the joints of the chest walls as it hursts more when i breathe which stopped me worrying so much, your pain sounds exactly the same.  I haven't had the pain for over a year but then it came back last week, no idea why it comes and goes but I dont worry about it anymore.

    Cheers

    Hi Pam

    I also have pain on and off in my breast, but not always the left. When it's bad it even hurts when I breathe. the only relief is to put some pressure on it which is painful too! The whole of the surrounding area is also painful too. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to this. I have only just been diagnosed with Fibro, but I have had these pains for years at intervals.

      Poor you PhilPala, it's usually the case, we suffer lots of issues and get treated for them seperately years before we ever get a diagnoses ....be encouraged once you get sorted this does go into a remission..then there is intermittently the flare  ups ..much better than having the symptoms all and everyday too..I've had Fibro over 22 years now and that's been myexperience, which I can only talk about, but many others have said this too...have a lovely weekend..be blessed.-smile xxxxx there us often no pattern at all to many of our issues with Fibro.,so be encouraged= take courage and keep on blogging?!!  Your input is really important to someone, even if you think it's notxxxxx

    Hi Pam, I get a lot of pain in and around my left breast, its more of a soreness than a sharp pain but feels like all my muscles have been pulled and they are very sore to touch or press. My rhumatologist told me that the symptoms can sometimes be worse on one side of our bodies for various reasons, so try not to worry. If all tests have come back clear it is more about controlling the pain than anything. I know it can be frustrating as fibro is such an invisible illness but try not to worry, that will make things worse x

    Yes I have exactly the same thing, I was told some years ago it was because of worn discs in my neck and it was a referred pain!!
