 Posted: 08/29/08 - 14:37 Post subject: Sharp Breast Pain |
  |
|
I thought I was the only one!
I am 53 years old and have had these same pains in my right breast only, on and off for about 10 years. I have had numerous physical examinations, mammograms, and ultrasounds which have all been normal. The pain is so sharp that it takes my breath away. Each pain lasts only several seconds, but it is excruciating. It is very intermittent. I have found that reducing or eliminating caffeine is somewhat helpful. My doctor suggested taking a vitamin E supplement. |

| Hi, I too sometimes has sore or a shark pain in my breast. My doctor asked me if I drank large amounts of caffine. I do, she said this could be a contributor. I think my diet has a lot to do with it as well. I eat too much protein!! |

|
|
| I've been having sharp shooting pains in my right breast. I had them for a couple of months about 6 months ago, and most recently after I quit the pill. I work in MRI and have good friends in the mammography dept. They said it is most likely a hormonal thing, and breast pain is very rarely associated with cancer. They still thought it was a good idea to mention it to my ob/gyn. |

I had shooting breast pain last year for months. It was sharp and sudden and gone half a dozen times a day. It stopped me in my tracks.
July 19th, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. August 6th, I had a double mastectomy. September 20-December 26th, I had chemotherapy. |

ok, wow. i'm glad i'm not the only one who has this going on, so i'm gonna go ahead and add myself to the list.
i'm 19 years old, only have caffeine once a day when i drink my tea. and yet, for the past few weeks, i'll get this sharp pain in my left breast. it's like i'm being stabbed from inside at a diagonal through my breast. it only lasts for about 5 or 10 seconds but stops me in my tracks. there's not a specific time it happens, either. sometimes i'll be up walking around, other times i'll be laying down or reaching for my water across the table. then all of a sudden it hurts... mine almost feel like i'm getting an electric shock.
my doctor did the usual check for any lumps and things, no results. caffeine's not a big problem for me or anything. i think i'll try the vitamin E supplements and increased water intake. any other advice would be great. i keep hoping it's nothing, just a random pain that i live with.
thanks to everyone who have helpful posts! |
