    Hi Cindy, yes I have the same thing going on. Before all of this really started my breast would hurt right before I was going to start my period. Now my breast hurt all month long ugh! Sometimes it will be one more than the other or both together. Another wonderful perimenopause/menopause symptom. You are definitely not alone. Try and relax and remember you are hormonal normal. Take care!

      Not in menopause yet but I for sure have all the symptoms of perimenopause and tender and sore breasts is surely one on the list.

      Thank you Becky, thought maybe a good bra would help now that my breasts seem somewhat less fat/firm now. Scary with the big word cancer but I don't think I notice any lumps but hurts to even press on the darn things!

      Okay thank you Gillian, I don't have periods because of my hysterectomy so I had no clue when I was in menopause but if the tender breasts go with it, I guess I'll relax and try to keep this stupid anxiety lower.

    Hey Cindy. I am in the club too. My breasts hurt off and on throughout the month. I am still in early peri. My left breast usually hurts more than the right. I've had it before where the pain was up to my collarbone, my shoulder blade and under that arm. I've been checked to make sure everything is ok. But, boy does it cause anxiety! Ugh. That is the worst.

    I will be so happy to be in meno with no more of this. Please know you are not alone, and this seems to be normal during this time.

      Thank you, sure helps to hear I'm not alone, not that I wish this on anyone but just knowing there are others with the same pains as me. Take care, feel more like yourself soon!
