What Could Cause Fluid Leakage From Left Breast?
I am 65 years old and post menopause and I had a hysterectomy 35 years ago. My left breast is leaking a dark reddish brown fluid and is tender. Sometime I get sharp pains in that breast then they go away. I have also noticed my left shoulder and arm are soar. can this possibly be cancer or what

Since you are having reddish brown discharge from breast i would suggest u do bilateral mammography immediately.
If any lesion is found in mammography then do biopsy from it.
Reddish discharge from breast can be a sign of cancer and so u must not delay.
Also CT scan of chest must be done
Bone Scan is also suggested since your left arm and shoulder are soar.
