Breast cyst: Sometimes the physical findings are characteristic, but the definitive diagnosis of cyst is made with ultrasound. Mammography not as useful...it usually can't tell the difference between a cyst and a solid nodule. Mobic (meloxicam) is an NSAID analgesic/anti-inflammatory, it will not treat a breast cyst per se, but it will help alleviate pain.
