Question 2

i've been having pain in my right breast near my arm pit and on the side of my breast. i wanted to know the cause of it or anything that can help.

Accepted Answer

Breast pain: You are young.  The risk of cancer is low.  More likely can be fibrocystic breast changes that can wax and wane based on caffeine intake or hormones.   See your primary care for an exam. Hidadrenitis supporativa can cause nodular areas of the axillary breast (underarm) tissues.  These can be swollen and drain.

Question 3

i often feel a light, sharp kind of pain in my body. it happens in different areas: breast, arm, chest, sides. it only lasts a second. what could be causing this, and should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
