Dear user,
I really understand your concern.
Based on your introduction, you have noncyclic breast pain, that is most common in women 30 to 50 years of age.
Occasionally, noncyclic pain may be caused by a fibroadenoma or a cyst.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen 400 mg 2 to 3 times daily when needed or naproxen 250 mg once to two times daily when needed will be helpful for your condition.
If breast pain becomes severe or lasts longer than 3 weeks, please see a doctor.
All the best!
