What causes pain on my left breast?
4 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
Fiind a clinic: I would help find a neighborhood clinic or contact your local hospital to determine what resources are available to you. The good news is that tenderness if the breast is not a typical indication of a serious problem. The bad news is you should not ignore it.

See your doctor soon: Have you done a self breast exam? Also have you had any breast surgeries, implants, etc? Not knowing too much of your situation, i would suggest you go to your doctor asap and if it gets very bad or you get unusually bad swelling, go to the er. Best of luck!

Many reasons: I am assuming you are nursing because of the photo you have used in which case your pain may be due to mastitis. However there are a variety of other possible causes including trauma, infection, thrombosis (mondors), musculoskeletal, cardiac, pulmonary, neoplastici, etc.
