This : This pain could be musculoskeletal in nature, meaning merely muscle pain that causes inflammation and tenderness in the breast. Try advil (ibuprofen) or Ibuprofen for a few days. If you have no relief then see your doctor for a complete exam and evalution. Try not to worry this is very common in women. Take care.
