This has been going on for a few days. I know its not due to my period so I'm panicking. I did go to the doctor cause of course I'm thinking worst case scenario (breast cancer.) My doctor says I would have a lump or discharge , etc. I do not have any other symptoms besides the random dull and achy pain in both breast. Since I was recently diagnosed with Fibro I am unsure if this is a symptom of this. I think I am also in the middle of a flare up due to extreme stress I really haven't felt this… read more

Members shared their experiences with breast pain while living with fibromyalgia, with many confirming they had undergone mammograms and ultrasounds that ruled out cancer, yet still experienced tenderness, achiness, and lumpy sensations that came and went unpredictably. Several members offered practical comfort strategies, including evening primrose oil, gentle massage instead of deep tissue work, acupuncture, going braless when possible, and always advocating for thorough testing to achieve peace of mind even when doctors attribute everything to fibro. A recurring theme was the emotional weight of health anxiety and the importance of not letting pain steal joy, with members encouraging one another to stay strong, lean on faith, and remember the loved ones who make life worth fighting through the hardest days.

I think it's the fibromyalgia, I have had a mammogram and tests and no breast cancer but my breast feel like a couple of boils and the pain when I take my bra of is excruciating it's better when I don't wear a bra it feels so much better

I’ve had this for years, but now I’m getting itchy nipples too but mainly in my left breast. I have fibrocystic breasts so I usually have pain and discomfort. I recently had tests. No lump, discharge, or any skin abnormalities. But I’m going to see a surgeon specialist soon to further give me peace of mind. It could very well be fibro.

Lori Wqtch those deep massage. I find it makes my pain
worst. The gentle soothing ones are better. I am going to
try some water exercise and will let you know if it help.
Hope you will rest up relax and see if it will relieve some stress I find we overdo things and pay for it later.
Fibro pains has a lot of different trigger points.

I have a lot of pain in the muscle that comes from the back and goes under my underarms and up above the breast. It is on both sides of my body and sometimes is very painful. Dr. says it is one of my trigger points. I don't know if this is any help to you but massage helps and I also go to acupuncture.
