I was on 3tx a year ago and I have been having pains in my breast as well. Not the kind you describe though. Mine feels more like a sharp pain all of a sudden. So strong that I contemplated going to the hospital once. Thought maybe I was having a heart attack. But it was gone in a few minutes. That has happened to me on and off for quiet a few months now. You are doing the right thing going and having it check out. Probably nothing but better to be on safe than sorry. Especially since there is swelling. Let us know how everything checks out for you and prayers are with you.
