breast pain

[ketneer]

Hi I am unmarried, 28 years old, periods - regular but scanty. Since last 4-5 months I am feeling pain in right side ribs, back & breast. Pain is not sharp however it feels like pulled muscle. Sometime I do feel like there is something in lower part of my breast , hoever I m not sure if that is lump or my bone (as I am thin, my weight is 50kg height 157 cm) I do have feeling that I have breast cancer however avoiding sonography because I am very scared of being diagnosed with cancer. My pain is more prominent before periods. Please advise

Hi,
Breast pain is very common and may be for a variety of reasons.This could very well be a pulled muscle,but without evaluation,it's impossible to speculate on what is causing the pain you describe.
Many of us have felt just like you at some point along the way and I understand the fear you are feeling, but please find the courage to see your doctor for a clinical breast exam.
Just remember that breast pain is rarely associated with breast cancer and that the majority of lumps are benign.Not knowing and the fear that we might have breast cancer is far more terrifying than going to see our doctor for evaluation.
Make that appointment and lets hope that you can soon tell us that all is okay.
I wish you the best...
