Dr. Brian Nguyen answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

See a doctor: I see that you are 48 years old and therefore are likely due for a mammogram, I would see a doctor and get a mammogram done to see if there isn't anything else going on I could be causing that pain, such as a mass.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
