What Causes Sharp Pain In The Breast?

I am having breast pain in my right breast. I had a mammogram on Wednesday and felt fine before the test. Now it is a dull, sometimes more sharp pain. The mammogram was hurtful more than in the past. The Doctors office has installed a new machine (my first time with this one) and it did hurt more than normal. I could feel the skin pulling tight. I am concerned because it hurts more at night when I am trying to sleep. I ve had many Mammograms in the past, like every year. I am 76 years old.

Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

As per your history there is possibility of breast cancer.

If your blood reports are normal I will advise you to do PET scan to look for any lesion in initial stage.
Mammography may not be sensitive..
Till time drink more water and improve immunity by taking healthy food.

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
