My breast been sore for almost a year, should i get this checked up and does it mean that i might need surgery?

Nonspecific: Pain in one or both breasts is a common but nonspecific finding. It can be due to common and benign conditions like fibrocystic disease, infection/abscess, or gran ultimatums mastitis. Rarely, breast cancers can cause pain. Your symptoms of pain have been there long enough that you owe it to yourself to get it checked out first hand by a doctor.
