Hello.By the symptoms that you have I think a breast ultrasound is needed .
Although you can need another tests after; initially is a sensitive test to rule out any breast pathology.
By now, in my opinion Diclofenac 50 mg thrice a day can be taken for treating pain ,but go to your doctor as soon as possible for prescription and request breast ultrasound.
I wish you good health.
