A member asked:

Im a 42 year old woman hurting under left breast and in middle of back. is this just symptoms of age?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Difficult to say: Unless you have particularly large breasts, the breast pain and back pain are most likely unrelated. Persistent breast pain warrants evaluation by a physician with a history, examination and possible diagnostic imaging.
