What Causes Extreme Tenderness And Pain In Breasts?

For about a month now I have been dealing with extremely tender breast and my nipples feel like someone is stabbing them with a needle. My great aunt passed away from breast cancer when she was younger than I am now. There is no discharge, fever, or lumps. Please help

Hi dear I advise you to go for mammography investigation and clinical examination once. Various causes for breast pain are such as fibromyalgia related with periods, mastitis, excess fibrous tissue or benign condition like fibroadenoma so please do the investigation. For pain relief I advise Tab Ibuprofen, hot water shakes, gentle massage with lidocaine.
Hope this will help you
Thanks and regards
