How To Treat Injury Mediated Sore Breast?
I was hit on the left breast yesterday with a medicine ball and now it is sore and i feel a lump. Have a history of fibrocystic breast disease but no history of any cancers in family at all. Would this be due to trauma possibly, have had no problems previously. I do not take birth control and have not for over 10 yrs.

The lump is most likely from trauma with the development of a inflammation, bruise, and swelling. If the lump does not resolve within a month, you need to see your primary care doctor. You can alternate ice and heat on the breast. NSAIDs will be your best form of pain relief at the moment due to the inflammation.
