It could be lots of things, when does it happen? specific times of the month, or it just came on suddenly for a short time? If it shoots all the way up your side, it could be an infection, like a kidney infection. Are you having any other symptoms, temperature? pain with urination? Sometimes ovarian cysts can also cause sharp pain. But I haven't heard of pain shooting up to the breast from them though.
