ABSOLUTELY! I also have a yeast build up so they are not only tender, they are itchy and blotchy as hell. I just had a mam and a breast exam and haven't heard any bad news, so yep, I think it's just the Fibro.

P.S. I've given up on finding a good bra and don't bother to wear one anymore.

If you have to wear a bra, try a sports one. I've found those to be the most comfy. I hate underwires, I think they were made by the devil himself. Unfortunately, I think I should also be wearing one, as 'endowed' as I am there, but I only wear one when I have to leave the house to go somewhere dressed nice. Victoria's secret has some new bra out that feels kind of funny, almost like wetsuit material, and it has an underwire feature, but not really. Very hard to explain, no wires, but the concept is there. It's the most comfortable underwire I've tried, but I still hate it. :)

Mine hurt down the sides when my fibro is bad, and they get sooooo itchy (right on the nipples - so awfully hard to scratch while at work lol). Must be a hormonal thing.

oh yes ... mine hurt every inch... i try not to wear a bra when i dont have to.. tried sport bras but they are rough on my shoulders.. so when i am home its pj's and no bra till i hit the door..**hugs**

It sounds like what I get and I'm pretty sure mine is caused by myofacial trigger points. I use this book: www.triggerpointbook.com to work on those areas - especially before a mammogram or I'd pass out! I also try to remember to take a pain pill an hour before the appointment. The doctors tell me I have fibrocystic breasts (lumpy) which bothers me because I won't know that kind of lump from a breast cancer lump. The best I can do is go for yearly mam's.

I know some people are more endowed than me - but when I get home one of the first things to come off of me is my bra. I hear that's uncomfortable for others.

Fibro moves around in me alot. I get on area settled down and the next area starts to revolt...

Yup. They are usually tender. I have costochondritis as well so when that's acting up, I feel I'd rather cut the darn things off than feel that pain.

There's also a fibro tender point in the chest area. For the longest time, I thought I had something seriously wrong with me. That's one of the first areas my doctor started poking and proding to check for the 18 tender points. Apparently, it's a big one. I was relieved that the tenderness was explained.

What a relief! I'm sorry you all are suffering from this, but I'm glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for this post Crazyfibro, I was thinking about asking the same question, but couldn't get the right words together.

Oh Yes, I think this is fairly common

I always get bad pains, thought i was having a heart attack 1 time in the begining. But they with always hurt. I found not wearing a bra and heat helps. Good luck. Hope your day is going well.

I have pain mostly on my left side and especially down my left side of my rib cage. It gets so bad that it can't even be touched or I'll scream. I'm a 44G and LOVE the Lane Bryant Balconette bra, finally a bra that has no seams, fits well and actually holds my boobs UP!! (I buy mine one the buy one get one free sales too!)

Thank you all...soft big hugs to all!! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one. I need to make a mamogram appt., and will take some pain pills before it! Thanks again for all the advise...I will check out those bras. Hoping everyone a painfree day.

There are times I will hit the ceiling if my nipples are even slightly brushed, and my breasts can ache.

You have my sympathy one and all, the soreness drives me nuts!!! Wasn't sure if it was fibro related or not. Now I know it could be!! This condition is unbelievable!!!
Hugs, Owlxx

I'm sitting here poking myself trying to figure out if I too have soreness. Ouch! Yes I do, my daughter is looking at me like I'm crazy, LOL. I try to ignore my aches and pains - the fog helps with that.
