Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Breast engorgement can be due to pregnancy, or due to the effect of the progesterone in the premenstrual syndrome, however soreness is not common after the periods are finished. It can also be due to pathological condition in the breast like fibroadenosis.
I would suggest you to consult a surgeon so that you can be properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
