A member asked:
I keep getting a needle- sharp pain in my left breast. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: Cysts, tension on supportive ligaments, infection, other masses, etc... Symptoms need to be mapped closely. Get as much family history as you can and follow up with pcp or ob/gyn asap. Supportive measures such as decreased caffeine intake and support bras can sometimes be helpful.
