Could be normal: Painful breasts before a period starts is completely normal. If you're late for your period, you could consider taking a pregnancy test, but otherwise, sometimes women have enlarged and tender breasts with every cycle right before their period starts.

Don't "have to": While this is a common symptom of pms, breasts don't "have to" hurt prior to menses, in fact many women do not experience such discomfort. See http://www.Wholehealthchicago.Com/2710/cure-pms-the-natural-way-without-seeing-a-doctor/
