Burning

No surgeries. Had a fluid lump remove off breast about 10 years ago. I've been having a burning, sharp pain in my breast off and on two two week now. The burning only last for about 30 seconds and then the feeling of the burning last another 30 seconds or so. What could be causing this pain?

The source of the burning sensation could be related to fibrocystic disease with new cyst formation to reaction to hormones.  If persistent you should see your primary care physician for evaluation and further tests if necessary.
