A member asked:

Sharp, stabbing, intermittent (every few seconds) pain high in my right breast tissue, not near nipple? never felt this before.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to find cause: It is important to figure out if the pain is in the breast or underlying muscle and factors that aggravate or relieve pain. Is it more related to physical activity or more during periods which would help differentiate the likely source. If symptoms persist or worsen, would obviously need evaluation by your physician.
