For 5 weeks I have been experiencing soreness and some pain in my left breast, with pain radiating into my shoulder and shoulder blade. I'm sore up into my armpit also. No redness, no rash, no itching, no skin changes that I can detect. I also have noticed slight swelling in my arm pit area, upper arm, and breast. It’s just constant aching!

I went to my OB/GYN he ordered a mammo and ultrasound. Both were normal. Lymph node in my arm was around 2 cm. I was referred to a surgeon and he said he saw no signs of breast cancer but had no idea what was causing my pain. So I went for a second opinion and second surgeon did another ultrasound and said he sees nothing but can't say why I'm having pain and soreness. Maybe a pinched nerve or pulled muscle. I have very small breast and he said that because of that he seen no reason to do an MRI. He said he could see the difference in size but it wasn't that much of a difference.

I followed up with my general physician and he is treating it as a muscle strain. Gave me a prescription for anti-inflammatory meds. Said to come back in 3 weeks if not better then he will order an MRI.

I'm 48 years old and have not had a period for at least a year. I'm just at a loss. Any ideas of what this may be?? It's just a nagging pain!!! ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
