I assume the physician examined your breast and nipple & found no abnormalities. You are probably dealing with an irritable superficial nerve which, in time, should resolve. A lung cause usually increases with a deep breath & associated cough is common. The site is too high for a colon or splenic cause. If symptoms persist get reexamined and a chest x-ray can be ordered.
