What Causes Breast And Ribs Pain?

I started having pain in my right breast about 8 months ago. It felt like when my milk came in after I had my child except very painful. Then my ribs on the right started hurting going into my back within the last few weeks. Starting a few days ago I m having trouble sleeping waking up drenched in sweat.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

There is possibility of abscess/ benign lump in your breast.
I will advise to consult your treating doctor for clinical examination of breast and then we can do required investigation.
Mammography and ultrasound may help for detail diagnosis.

Another possibility of your origin of pain can be neural.
Due compression of nerve in cervical and thoracic region can give rise to such pain.

So I will advise for clinical examination and as required MRI spine screening.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
