Breast have been extremely sore for over 2 weeks

I am a 49 year old female.  I had a hysterectomy when I was 40.  The last two weeks my breasts have been extremely sore (bring me to tears sore).  I don't ever remember them being this sore except maybe when I was pregnant or right before I was getting ready to start my period.  Could this be premenopausal symptoms?  Last year when I had my Mammogram done, they said they could not read it because my breasts were too dense.  Should I be concerned?

Hi,
Speak with your doctor about this. You might also want to research online, 'Menopause Symptoms After Hysterectomy' ~ there are some women who experience some or all symptoms of menopause post hysterectomy. Consider speaking w/your doctor about treatment options for this. I have not had a hysterectomy, but I am going through perimenopause and have dealt with very painful breast. For breast pain and tenderness, I use a warm compress (washcloth works fine) applied to the painful area's and also I take an ibuprofen or aspirin for more relief. Stay away from tight fighting bra's/clothing during any tenderness; you might want to go braless or wear a cotton sports bra when you can.
~ Hope you feel better soon :)
