Dr. Andrea Brand answered

Fibrocystic breasts: A common, benign ( non cancerous) condition called fibrocystic disease can be associated with breast soreness. Caffeine tends to make this worse, so you might try cutting back on cola , coffee, tea and chocolate to see if pain improves. If pain persists or you feel any lumps, please see a doctor for examination.
