Stabbing pain under the breast, around the ribs

Have you ever felt a stabbing pain on your breast that last like 2 seconds but it actually feels like someone is stabbing you on the side under your breast????? I had experienced that and my 14 year old have felt it as well.  I heard that it happens because one of your cyst is exploding!!!!OMG!!! Am I going crazy?

That momentary sharp, jabbing "needle stick" pain is quite common.
It's a result of hormones surging through your breast.

I have felt that before but never knew what it was. Cysts in breast tissue are common and rarely cancerous. Most cysts that women find, if benign, can be drained.
