Tight muscle or something else?

This problem of mine has been going on for a few years. I look for answers everywhere but cannot seem to find out anything. The reason why I am looking real hard now is because it is getting worse.
I have a pain in my right breast. It is the top part and a little more towards the inside.It gets worse when I am on my period or getting close to my period. Also, I have the same exact pain a little to the right of my spine on my back, it goes into my armpit (there's a lump that's sore there also) and to my shoulder. This part of my body has always had tight muscles. Could these pains be from a muscle spasm or something more? I do have a very high stress level and have panic attacks sometimes.
My cup size is 34D, I am very petite in the waist. Could this be a reason? Or is it something more tragic like a tumor or cancer?

We here cannot diagnose problems such as you describe. The symptoms you have mentioned could be from any number of things and especially since you say they have been present for a number of year. My best advice would be for you to see your Primary Care Physician for a complete examination and any testing that he/she feels appropriate.  Regards ....
