Can There Be Any Possible Connection Between Painful Breasts And Arthritis?
I am a 69 year old woman,I have a pain in my breast no lumps but a 10 pain goes from base to tip sometimes a shooting pain sometimes a all over pain. Dr took x rays of right shoulder just showed some arthritis and fixed me up to get a Sonagram and something else I don't remember.

Hello there!
Breast is a soft tissue and arthralgias hardly affect mammary tissues. But the musculature around and under the breast might get affected and can explain the connection. hope they find some thing out. But it needs work up and stay in touch with your physician
good luck
