Need more info: Women often have asymmetry in the size of their breasts and if your right breast is bigger than the left, the bra may be too tight. You may try sleeping without the bra. If there is no bruise, you may wait and watch. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.

Treatment: You can use Tylenol (acetaminophen) to help with pain and soft self massage of this area. If no trauma it should be help.

HARD TO SAY: IF IT IS A SUBLUXATION OF A RIB OR SOMETHING MILD USUALLY MOIST HEAT APPLIED TO THE AREA SHOULD HELP. SHINGLES COULD CAUSE THIS AS WELL. IT IS REALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW FOR SURE GIVEN THE POSSIBILITIES. EXAM AND DETAILED HX WOULD BE HELPFUL.
