Hi,
According to your description as you have ruled out some causes, the other possible causes of your breast pain are:
- Radiating pain from the sprains of back, neck or shoulder, chest wall pain, costochondritis etc.
- Ill fitted inner wear and/or sleeping in the prone position.
- Fibrocystic breast disease
- Mastitis etc.
If the pain persists better to get evaluated, please consult your gynecologist once, get examined and go for sonomammography. With this work-up the possible cause of your problem can be identified and treatment can be planned accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri S. R., OBGYN
