Breast : Breast pain, particularly premenstrual pain, is incredibly common and almost always benign. Women with fibrocystic change are more prone to it, but a lot of women will have breast pain at some time or another. There is no universal treatment, so trial and error is often needed to figure out what makes yours better. Eliminating caffeine helps with some women, but usually takes 2-3 months to see a true effect. Other common solutions include supplementation with vitamin E or vitamin b6. Evening primrose oil (a supplement available in most drugstores and natural food stores) can be very effective, show in randomized clinical trials. Reduction of dietary fat, increased exercise, decreased stress can all help. Some women find improvement with acupuncture. If it is predictable, use of Ibuprofen can help. If the pain tends to be focal (in one spot consistently) and constant. It is worth evaluation given your history. I hope this helps!

Breast pain: Occasional breast pain related to the menstrual cycle is a common complaint. Most women who have undergone a mastectomy and then reconstruction may also have a procedure on the other breast for symmetry and if thats the case then you may have some pain from the surgical procedure that was carried out. See your breast surgeon or plastic surgeon for your options.
