Yes and no: We need more history to find out your risk like age, family hx etc.

Need to be checked: Though it may not feel like it is in your breast, you need to get it checked. It could a calcium deposit on the rib, a breast lump that has attached itself to muscle, a healing fracture, etc. I would start by seeing your gynecologist.
