Brief Answer:
maybe if mammogram is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

If your mammogram and clinical evaluation of your breast is normal than the pain might be a referred pain from your shoulder.

I would like to know the results of your mammogram.

But I would suggest that you show to a surgeon once for a second opinion as shoulder pain radiating to cause pain in the breast and specially the nipple is unusual. And at your age breast malignancy should be ruled out with double surety.

Hope I have been helpful.
