I hope I'm worrying about nothing but visited gp on Xmas Eve as m suffering with breast pain it's like a burning stabbing which radiates through to nipple but having a lot of pain in my side next to breast dr didn't seem to find any lump but have a slight puckering and I mean tiny,he's referred me to hosp currently waiting for a phone call to arrange a appointment within next 2 weeks. Can you get pain in side and sometimes radiated to back shoulder blade .sorry to bother but have no one else to speak about this. Would be happy just to know if this pain could be related to breast cancer awaiting patiently for a reply thanks

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    Breast pain can cause a lot of worry but it is actually very common in women of all ages.It isn't usually a symptom of breast cancer. It is commonly linked to hormonal changes but is often caused by a muscle strain or rib pain. You can read more about breast pain here.

    Your GP has referred you to the breast clinic to get checked out just to be on the safe side.

    I hope everything turns out to be okay.

    Best wishes,
