Hello! Welcome!!

Have you seen your gynecologist about this? I do not know breast pain to be a part of any CFS diagnosis!!! The doctor to see is your GYN. He can rule out if you have inflammed breast tissue, or something like a cyst causing your discomfort.

Please check it out!! If you do that, and find out there's nothing wrong, you will have peace of mind. We all need that when dealing with this illness.

I think that when we have CFS, we want to box any new symptom that comes along as being related to this horrific illness. Not everything IS CFS. We need to check out new symptoms to be sure nothing else is going on!!

I wish you the best. Let us know what is happening. OK? OK!

Blessings! xo

Hi, I never had breast pain until I had surgery and radiation for breast cancer last March. I agree with Darla, it could be hormonal or cysts. I know it's not a part of CFS... Please do go to your GYN and have it checked out. It may be minor issue that can be solved.
Our bodies are so complex and when we have CFS it can get confusing as to what is CFS and what isn't.

I pray you feel better and find out what is going on in the breast.
Blessings and Gentle Hugs

I do have breast tenderness. I've been to the GYN, and in my case, it seems to be that I have some benign lumps, perhaps swollen glands or something. I agree with everyone else that you should check in on it with a doctor. CFS does cause swollen glands, but it would be good to make sure of where the pain is coming from. I'm really sorry. I know how terrible it is. I'm a stomach sleeper and breast pain can be an issue if you like to sleep on your tummy :). Keep your head up. Many blessings.

I have a benign cyst in my left breast and it has been very painful.I believe that cfs can certainly contribute to adrenal fatigue which can cause hormonal deficiencies or inbalances resulting in painful cysts or tender breasts in women.I am currently taking a herbal fluid extract formula to treat estrogen dominance and progesterone and testosterone deficiency.The pain in my left breast has definitely decreased and the cyst is smaller.The breast clinic was unable to drain the cyst as it is solid.They recommended surgery but that would be far too taxing on my body.The herbs are a blessing.I wish you well.So sorry you are struggling .Hugs.

I had the usual pms type sensitivity and I had milk until I was mid menopause, about 30 yrs past nursing my kids.
At one point I had an infected duct, and had brownish red discharge and a sore breast.
I agree with everyone else, if it were bilateral I might think oversensitivity due to CFS but as it is one, it bears seeing a gyno for an exam and perhaps an ultrasound.
Until then if you can get into a bath with some epsom salt and sink right in to let your chest get into the water it may soothe a bit...
hoping you are feeling better soon, please let us know how you are

Sorry not a lot of energy for long response. I would just say, Ditto to the precautions everyone else is advising.

Could it be chestwall pain ? Because that is more common in CF/FM. The way you can check for chestwall pain is gently push two fingers around the area of the breast bone and in between ribs. If the pain increases, then it is called chestwall pain, versus breast tissue pain or cardiac pain.

The chest area contains several "tenderpoints", or painful nodules found in patients with FM.

I agree with everyone to have all pain in the chest checked out by a MD first in case it is a cardiac problem.
