Hi there, I also get breast pain once in while. It's normal to feel pain and tenderness. Sometimes I get a sharp pain inside the breast,usually on my left one. The first time it happened it freaked me out and went to the doctor. It turned out to be ok . I'm telling you menopause can play serious mind games with you. I have been dealing with this business for almost 10 years. I'm 51 now,my last period was february of this year. Hopefully that's it. So,have faith,it will get better I promise!

It was breast pain that made me find out I was having peri-menopause. I have had a hysterectomy; however, I still have my left ovary, so I still have a form of monthly periods. 1 month I noticed my breast were sore and and I just figured "oh well, it's that time of the month, the soreness will be gone in a few days". 2 weeks later I still had the pain and it was much worse. Another week later my breast were swollen and sore, it even hurt to walk. They were so swollen that the viens stuck out. I went on the internet and I kept seeing stuff abut menopause...Yeah right! I'm only 40, theres no way I am gong through that. The more I read, the more things were falling into place infact this was even explaining some of those other problems I was having. I seen the Dr. and after some other things he prescribed an HRT. I started taking them and things were feeling better. Because I have a benign lump in my breast, yet at high risk of it becoming cancerous, I decided to stop the HRT. My breast were hurting again. Long story short, I talked with the Dr. and am now back on the HRT plus some organic cream and am feeling GREAT! No more breast pain.

Thanks gals, I have extremely sore breasts each month 2 which is around my cycle time, and I had a hysterectomy 3 months ago and was left with one ovary. This pain is different from breast tenderness which can get pretty excruciating at times too.... Lol. This is inside in one area slung the side of my left breast or behind the nipple area even.... Its weird... and hurts if I push around inside..... Strange ehh? I'm still trying not 2 get 2 freaked out about it yet tho.... Just worried...

Hi,
I've been having a lot of the same symptoms: breat pain, tenderness and mood swings. I'm still on birth control pills, only really to help me just feel human. I went off them for several months and it was pure hell the way I felt.

I have been wondering if I should talk to my doctor about HRT or ???

Don't get freaked out hun. I call em my "growing old" pains! ha. I'm sure its hormones, hormones, hormones! But just for booby tenderness, Vit E daily works wonders.As for the lightening bolts that spear thru my tits from time to time, I freak for a few minutes and forget about till the next time.

i,m not as old as sawyer hehe but both mine hurt all the time they feel like full water balloons full of nettles.but it can be a side effect of cysts on my ovaries or i was told young breasts ??meaning no fat teeny tits,he was polite i guess.

Hi all,
I had a diagnostic mammogram yesterday, and after the doctor looked at the views, scheduled me for ultrasound.

I did take your advice, Sawyer. Vitamin E helps. I read a lot last weekend and started taking some flax oil and other oils with Omega 3, 6, etc and primrose oil.

I have to admit I'm a little scared. The lumpiness in my breasts has always been there, but this one (where it's hurting) seems to have gotten bigger.

I would appreciate your prayers.

Kate
