It sounds like maybe a deep bruise or nerves being pinched... try going without the bra for a week and see if the pain stays.

Hi,

A friend I know had the same problem a few years ago and the physician who checked her blamed the bra too.
You may have been using the same size for years but a slight change in the model or size - or as suggested before, not wearing one - might help.

Now I need help/advise on a new issue...
Do you have any lumps or a hard surface like thing around the place of pain?
Cos my friend does now...she tried changing her bra, but has not helped so far. In fact the pain spread to her lungs too, so was advised to go on some pain killers.
Had a mammogram (breast X-ray) done, and no anomalies detected.
No cysts/lumps as per the ultrasound (the screening is done after the mammogram compulsorily in my home country).
But the pain persists and there's a feeling of fullness and a bit of tenderness too. No discharge though.

Any got any idea what it might be? Cos the doctors have asked her to go on the pain killers and see what happens.

Tanoshii, You mentioned a lump or hard spot in your firends breast with pain. The mammogram and ultrasound did not pick up anything. Ask your friend to ask her physican could it be possible a milk gland be stopped up. This is what happened to a friend of mine. She was not given anything for pain and was told it would unstop itself. I'd never heard of such, but it sounds like pretty much the same thing. She stopped wearing a bra for a month before even going to her doctor, thinking it was her bra as well.

Hi Fairy*Godmother,

Actually my friend is about 50 now...and she got the same checked by a gynecologist too. And the doctor too pretty much said there was nothing wrong. But after a course of antibiotics to clear off any infection that could have been the cause of the pain, she is feeling a little better.

But do let me know if a 50 year old woman can have a milk gland be stopped up. She is close to a menopause age too...but the doc din't seem to find anything go wrong cos of that too.

Quite a puzzle!!

Yes, when it comes to milk duct glands getting "clogged" or stopped up. age is not a factor. So yes, a 50 year old can have this problem.
