What Causes Pain In Breast?
Question: I have pain in my breast, the nipple I just had a mamo and was recently seen by my gyno I think it might be related to the pain in my shoulder and arm could this be possible?
Brief Answer:
maybe if mammogram is normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
If your mammogram and clinical evaluation of your breast is normal than the pain might be a referred pain from your shoulder.
I would like to know the results of your mammogram.
But I would suggest that you show to a surgeon once for a second opinion as shoulder pain radiating to cause pain in the breast and specially the nipple is unusual. And at your age breast malignancy should be ruled out with double surety.
Hope I have been helpful.
