Armpit And Areola Pain Posted: 12-27-07 19:41pm


I am a 27 year old female. I have 3 kids, one of which is currently nursing, but I recently started to notice a pain that comes and goes in my right breast (near the areola) as well as a tender spot in my arm pit (closer to my breast though). I am a little worried to say the least, but I keep reminding myself that this may be associated with breastfeeding my son (he's 13 months and I've never experienced the pain before now). What are your suggestions. I am due for my pap next month, so obviously I will bring it up then, but in the mean time what are your suggestions? Thanks, Christina

What's the type of this pain? Is it burning in nature, or sharp, stabbing or pinching pain? Does this pain last throughout the feeding, and occasionally continues after the feeding has ended? Is there any change in appearance of your nipple or areola?

although i don't mean to give you unneccessary worry, i would get this checked out as soon as you can, before your pap smear. any unusual changes or pain should be investigated so if there is a problem it can be nipped in the bud. the sooner you go to a doctor, the sooner your mind will be put at rest.

Have you already checked it? Do you still feel the same discomfort and pain?
