Breast pain

Does anyone ever have muscle pain beneath one or both of your breasts from your fibromyalgia? I have it and I think that is what is causing it. I was using a heating pad but I'm not sure if that is the best treatment.

I get breast pain also,usually my left side. I use heat when it is bad,other than that it is like a lot of fibro pain:nothing takes it away.

I have tremendous breast pain in both breast about 2 weeks out of the month. It does correspond with my monthly cycle. My periods have worsened in the last five years that I have had fibro. The week before and the week of are horrible for my chest but also my back and the rest of my body. The first and second day is always a flare!! I have found that a sports bra helps if I wear it 24/7 at home and I have a tube sock filled with rice that I heat up in the microwave for 2 minutes. Because I of the size I can lay it across my chest when I am sleeping or while I am on the couch (where I usually am all the time). It does seem to help some, but also ibuprofen. Ibuprofen seems to be one of the only meds that help me at all anyway.

I have asked my female dr about this pain and she suggested not drinking caffeine but trying that didn't work either.

I really appreciate you ladies posting about this because I have felt alone in in this matter.

Several years ago, my doctor found a lump underneath my right breast. When he pushed on it, it hurt! Sent me for an extensive mammography which hurt worse than the lump, squeezed me so tightly tears came to my eyes. I was waiting for her to tell me I could go, but she came back and said the radiologist wanted to see more! Anyway, nothing showed up. The lump disappeared. ??? Only thing I could think of was it had to be a TrP in an odd spot.
