Why did you wait so long!? The pain you are experiencing is probably some kind of inflammation (mastitis) but it has to be confirmed by a surgeon via physical examination (palpation). You will mostl likely be required to take a mammography or an ultrasound examination to exclude fibrocystic displasia or tumor.
