Breast tenderness

I just turned 47. I havent had a period since July this year, my periods are farther apart for awhile now. Blood work showed I was not in active menopause, Dr said she thought i was begining it though. My breast are so tender it hurts to  be touched, when I tak my bra off it feels like they are going to pull off of my body I am in means well endowed. They use to feel similar when I was going to start my period. I keep looking to start but havent. Should I be worried? It has been 3 years since my mamogram but i do self exams almost daily .

I've had that experience too. My breasts will hurt so bad I can't stand to take a shower and have water on them sometimes, especially the nipples. It does seem to come and go. I've tried asking this question myself and got very little response. I personally think it's fluctuating hormones as our bodies are moving towards menopause.
