I'm 52. 4 years post menopausal. I woke up a few mornings ago with hard nipples, sore and feeling hot and angry. The heat and anger subsides during the daytime but they're still sore and hard-ish. Then I wake up in the morning to the heat again. I eat very well, organics, little meat, zero processed stuff. My one weakness is chocolate. A little each day after dinner. There's a lot of us experiencing this in the same age range. You think there'd be more info out there.

I can relate to your situation more than any of the other woman above... except for I am only 47 post menopause by 3 years I am on no meds,creams nothing. My cycle have just recently stopped by 4 months. I don't know if that has anything to do with this or not I just want relief from the tenderness by touch.

I'm 54 irregular periods, just got over it a little over a week ago. My breast and nipples are the same way. But u m able to go without a bra around the house, I'm not in excruciating pain at all just a little discomfort. Going to see if it goes away. It is aggravating. Glad I'm not the only one going through this.

Wow, I am reading everyone's posts and can't believe how common this apparent problem is. I am 60 and my pain just happened for the first time today.It is only in the left breast, not both like a lot of people are mentioning. I had returned from the gym and noticed it while I was taking off my sports bra. My breast is aching near the nipple too. I feel better reading everyone's posts but it does make me a little nervous.

60 yrs old. Erect swollen red nipples that just appeared yesterday and i'm scared.
Thanks to you all for responding ... it has given me the cause and the remedy.
It is the the hormones and chemicals in processed foods and endocrine disruptors in plastic bottles and soda cans.
I have been way off course with food selection last 4 weeks by just grabbing what I could (if I get a work break) of mostly processed foods and soft drinks etc. I actually had a convenience store sandwich for the 1st time in my life 3 days ago...:0
Prior to this, I had been selective of eating healthier choices and chemical free, hormone free "labeled" food all my life.
I'm back to smoothies and very little animal products.
I will have to negotiate wellness based operational modifications at the work place... Isn't there a federal law that grants 15 minute breaks on the clock and 30 minute clocked out lunch breaks for full time hourly employees?

This just started for me about 5 days ago. I have been in a medically induced menopause for about 5 years now. This is very painful and scary. For me it's only one nipple. I did not see an answer, am I missing it? It is so painful that I have to do something. Good luck.

I am 61 and postmenopausal for 8 years. Two years ago I woke up with significant, burning, constant pain in my right nipple and slight tenderness in the right armpit. Went to two doctors, had standard and diagnostic mammograms and a CT scan, they found nothing wrong and had no idea what the problem was or what to do about it. Once the imaging showed no obvious cause, they basically lost interest in me. It lasted about 3 months, and then went away. This week I woke up with the same pain in my left nipple and left armpit. I am not going to bother to go to a doctor because they don't seem to have any idea what is causing it or how to treat it. If I take 4 ibuprofen the pain diminishes about 95%, if I take 2 ibuprofen it diminishes about 50%, but I don't want to keep taking that much 3X a day, so I am just going to live with it for a month and see what happens. A hot compress with a steaming-hot washcloth does help, but you can't walk around with one of those on your breast all day long so this provides only temporary relief.
