sudden onset of breast pain
last night i had sudden onset stabbing breast pain which kept me awake all night. i still have the pain tonite in the lower right quandrant of my boob. there is no lump, just pain. i saw my onc today for a different reason and we talked about the pain, i have to go back in a week for another evaluation. if my arm rubs against my boob i wince in pain. it's not infected and at this point it does not look like i have shingles. has anyone had this experience before, if yes what was it? thanks!
xo, lulu

It could be truncal lymphedema or Costochondritis.

What happened with this? Are you still in pain?
I had a random weekend of pain a few months ago and i freaked out, almost went to the ER but it went away the next week. I hope yours does too!

melinda, nice to see your smiling face! i went to the onc b/c after massaging the area i broke out in petechiae and i thought my platelets were low and needed a transfusion. numbers are fine, no transfusion needed. talked about the pain, plan was if it is still there in a week (tomorrow), we were going to start a work up. i cancelled my appt for tomorrow because the pain is better, my boob still hurts but its not as bad as it was. the stabbing pain is gone, now i just have a sore boob. i think my onc is jumping the gun starting a work up after a week of pain so i am going to hold off a few more weeks. if the pain is still here in three weeks i will start the work up.
see you in philly!

Is it swollen? Pink or red? Could possibly be cellulitis or lymphedema. LE & cellulitis can cause pain. Hopefully the doctor will help you figure it out. NJ

hi mrsnjband! i had a raging case of cellulitis on my foob that put me in the hospital for a week, it's definately not cellulitis. no swelling, no color, not LE, but thanks for the input! lulu

incredible pain in right breast -- sudden. Deep breaths are painful. Touching it, moving certain way results in wincing pain. What is it??
