I have a pain on my left side when pressure is applied to the spot. it is the size of a quarter, is 6 inches down from the center of my armpit and is on top of the rib cage. My left breast is also painfull when pressed around the outer edge, not the fleshy part of the breast. I felt the pain approx a month ago when I rolled over on to my left side while sleeping. The pain woke me up.

Hi,Dear thanks for the query to HCM virtual clinic.
I studied your query in full details updated from you.I understood your health concerns.
Based on your query data, In my opinion ,Dear You seem to suffer from painful lump of Fibroadenosis of the left Breast with painful lump in the armpit -due to the fibroadenosis of the AXillary Tail of the Breast.
Your story confirms that this pain was felt 1 month ago,confirming the monthly recurrence,which is characteristic of Fibroadenosis-with pain and is due to the premenopausal hormonal changes with fluid retention,causing pain in the engorged breast tissue.
Mammogram and CT Breast after Surgeons physical examination would fix the diagnosis.
In case of doubts a Mammography/CT guided FNAC-Biopsy with histopath study,would resolve the ambiguity and would help in planning line treatment of Fibroadenosis.
Conservative Treatment-
Tab Alprazolam-0.5 mgm -tranquilizer,to relieve triggering anxiety causing hormonal imabalance.
Anti-inflammatory-Motrin 400 mg with Tylenol 500 mgm x 2 per day would resolve the pain,if need be.
Tab Danazole 100 mgm bd for Mastalgia ,for correcting Hormonal Imbalance.
