A member asked:

Both breast tender and my left side breast every now and then today sharp pain that goes down to my rib cage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast exam: Go to your physician for a 3 position breast exam and get a breast ultrasound. This may also be due to hormonal fluctuations. I suggest avoiding any heavy underwire or push-up bras until seen: athletic bras may help.
