I would think it might take a considerable amount of time especially since you described that your job entails some heavy lifting. Since there is some question as to what it really is I hesitate to recommend anything specific to help the healing. Usually it's time and rest but you might ck. with your Dr. for some advice. Take care ...
Thank you for responding to my question. So if it is inflamed tissue or muscle tissue how long does it take to heal and is there anything I can wear to help with the healing process? Thanks.
I think you are at the right place ... we deal with all sorts of breast issues here both male and female. Since you had both the ultrasound and mammogram (and by the way, now you know what we women have to go thru) and both returned negative results I would be thinking along the lines of a muscle issue or the inflammed tissue. If you continue to be concerned you might consider seeing a Breast Specialist and have him/her review your films and examine you ... a second opinion of sorts. Regards ....
