Cancer : Cancer very rarely presents with breast pain. Please see your doctor or gynecologist and have a complete evaluation. Yes, if you have had a breast infection you can get another one. Please be seen and have a complete evaluation which may include a mammogram or an ultrasound. If you have worse pain, fever, or redness, then you will have to go to the er if your doctor can't see you immediately.

Fairly common: Best option to start with OB or primary doc. Yes, you can get breast abscesses not related to breast feeding. Cysts are also very common. Many women can have perfectly normal mammogram/ultrasound and have pain. Should have those 2 tests, to make sure all is well. Cancer, though unlikely, is a possibility, and is usually detectable with those screening tests.
