Sore Left Breast, no other symptoms

Alliewrites28

Hello! I have had this weird soreness in my left breast for a little while. I’m not sure how long, but I think it’s been less than two weeks. It spreads to different parts of my breast, but stays on the left side. I have zero other symptoms, other than my left arm being sore occasionally, and I’m not currently in my home country so these problems are concerning me more than they usually would.

I have zero other symptoms, so I’m hoping this is nothing serious. My breast looks visually swollen to me, but it’s not to the point where my bras do not fit (they actually still fit perfectly) so it could just look bigger to me because I’m paranoid.

Just to give more information, I’m 21 years old, my period just ended two days ago so it could be related to that, and I have generalized anxiety disorder. I know sometimes stress can cause muscle tension so that may be a possibility. If anyone else has had anything like this, please let me know what it could possibly be.

Thank you.

I'm literally going through the same thing. GAD sufferer here too.

I got a clean mammo and ultrasound and just followed up with a breast surgeon who assures me it's hormonal. The only other thing I can say is that when the BS and I were reviewing my films I noticed that my left lymph nodes were definitely bigger than the ones on the right but she commented that they don't look like anything they're ever concerned about..... I'm trying to keep optimistic about that but a little nervous. She told me to cut out all caffeine and take evening primrose oil. I go back in 6 weeks to see if that helps.

I’m glad someone is going through the same thing. The soreness is on and off at this point so I’m thinking it’s stress. I never have caffeine, but I do eat a lot of sugar so when I get back from the trip I’m currently on (in a week). I’m gonna cut back on that and see if it helps.
