Sore Hardening In Breast. Should I Be Concerned ?
I have a sore hardening area in my breast. It feels like a thick strap that starts right above my left breast, upper chest , and can be felt down to almost my nipple where it gets larger. It is sore if you push on the area, this is the same that side that my children constantly dig their elbows in when they are sitting with me. Should I be concerned or could it judt be a muscle? Very concerned. Thank you

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
I would surely ask you to go in for an examination to your general physician or any doctor, to find out what it is, I feel it must be an abscess of breast or any infection/inflammation called mastitis, it could also be a significant swelling, like fibroadenomas/ benign tumors as well , better to get it examined
Avoid repeated trauma or friction to the area, wear loose bra which can allow a finger's width at least of space in between .
Regards
