Thank you for your response. I appreciate that you explained things so well. I will be sure to follow up with your advice of a biopsy.
Thanks again,

Hi Maggie.
Any mass or lump in the breast can cause breast pain as it impinges on the normal breast structure. A breast ultrasound can differentiate between a cystic and a solid mass. Since the lump on your breast has increased in size with associated tenderness, further examinations may be needed. You need to go back to your doctor or a breast specialist. You can have a needle biopsy done and the specimen is sent for histopathological evaluation. Surgery will follow depending on the result of biopsy.
Good luck.
