What can cause a bruise-like feeling inside the breast? Posted: 04-15-06 07:16am
I have a question...I am very concerned as
for the past few days I have had a strange
almost bruise type feeling in my right
breast. This only happens when I go to
sleep and lay on either side. I did hit
this breast a few days ago as well fairly
hard at work and have been doing ALOT of
heavy lifting at work. Is it possible
this is from all my muscles hurting or
pulling something? I have no lumps that I
can feel, breast look normal, soft, nipple
fine ect...

It is possible that your right breast is
hurting due to the impact you experienced
a few days ago. You can take some
painkillers to relieve the pain. If it
doesn’t help, you can go to your GP for
a more thorough examination. You can also
do a self-examination (inspection and
palpation) of your breasts in front of the
mirror. This is best perfomed once every
month, usually after a bath or shower. If
you notice an asymmetry between the
breasts or perhaps a bump inside the
breast, you should visit your GP
immediately.
