Brief Answer:
breast pain is uncommon in breast cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is very understandable to be concerned when any pain at all is experienced in the breast but it is important to remember that breast cancer very very rarely presents with pain or discomfort.
It is normally a painless.
Fibroadenoma is a benign non cancerous lesion that can be found in the breast. It is made up of fibrous and glandular tissue.
The abnormal sensations are likely neuropathy, this is related to abnormal structure or function of nerves. It can be central (related to the brain or
spinal cord) or peripheral. In this case it would be termed
peripheral neuropathy.
It can be temporary in some cases.
The most common causes are: trauma,
vitamin b12 or
folate deficiency, liver or kidney disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, idiopathic (the cause is not found).
If the abnormal sensation continues then you can consider the mammogram to reassure yourself but as stated, breast cancer is one of the rarer causes of breast discomfort.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
