Hard&Sore Nipples : The most likely cause is pregnancy or a change in your hormone levels. For some women, this occurs regularly for a week or so during the cycle, and then subsides. If a home pregnancy test kit is negative on two occasions and the symptoms don't clear, make an appointment with your gynecologist for a thorough evaluation to pinpoint the cause of this new development.

That can be: Difficult to say. You may need to get on the pill, first line for breast pain, if u are on the pill may need a lower estrogen dose. Make sure your bra isn't too tight. Gd luck.
