What Causes Intermittent Pain In The Left Breast?
I have had intermittent pain on the outer aspect of my left breast and auxiliary area for months. I had one episode a month or so ago were the symptoms increased into my shoulder and I had some dull left arm numbness for a short tome frame. Today I am having increased pain in my left outer breast that occasionally is radiating into my scapula, collar bone and up my left side of my neck. I had two episodes were the bottom of my jaw had a dull numbness. My question is, do you think it is cervical, muscular or cardiac symptomatology?

Hi,
The symptom is more likely to be cervical spondylitis or cardiac in origin (where it is associated with pressure like pain, shortness of breath) cardiac pain needs to be excluded & cervical pain needs confirmation by X-ray/MRI.
Please avoid stress till diagnosed. Take rest, avoid trouble sum movements & consult a physician for primary assessment followed by needful investigation & expert advise.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
