sore breast

my breast have been hurting 4 a month and a half.  hurts to lay on, hug someone. feel heavy. nipple tingle sometimes. nipples hurt to. look larger. i took a blood pregnancy test may 2 and it was negative. last time i had sex was april 27. i got a pap smear on may 19....... havent heard anything about being pregnant. when the doctor did my exam, i wanted to cry when she touched my breast. she said that my breast hurt because im not use to spotting. my last birth control shot was dec 17. but i been on and off that shot for years. i spotted before, my breast have never felt like this. any suggestion?

Some causes of breast pain are:


Fibrocystic breast disease


Premenstrual syndrome, cyclic mastalgia


Normal hormonal fluctuations


Onset of puberty or menopause


Pregnancy


Breastfeeding (nursing)


Estrogen therapy


Chest wall tenderness (costochondritis)


Injury to the breast (trauma, after breast surgery)


Shingles (pain is only in 1 breast, usually accompanied by a rash)


Use of certain medications such as digoxin (Lanoxin), methyldopa (Aldomet), spironolactone (Aldactone), oxymetholone (Anadrol), and chlorpromazine (Thorazine)


An infection in the breast (breast abscess, mastitis)


Breast cancer

This all could be from not getting your next shot. You last shot was Dec, and I'm sure it's only good for 3 months.
