A few things: You need to have an exam to help delineate the pain source . It could be the breast tissue which includes ducts, fat cells and connective tissue bands. There are also lymph nodes that can get inflamed. A common cause of pain is rib pain. This can mimic breast pain as they sit under your breast. See you doctor for an exam.
