Question:
Pain in LEFT BREAST

I have these sharp-shooting pains that go down the left side of my breast - towards my nipple - on my left breast. Seems to happen when I bind over only. I am 7+ months post-op and have lost 116+ lbs. This has happened a few times since surgery, but daily for the last week. When I actually touch my breast to feel ... I feel no pain.    — Tammy Cardwell (posted on September 23, 2008)

I am almost 9 months out and have had the same experiences. In fact, last Saturday they were so bad that I went to the emergency room with the pains. After alot of tests, the conclusion was that I had pulled chest wall muscles. Prescribed anti-inflammatory and told me not to lift anything over 10 lbs for 2 weeks. My pains were dull aching to sharp severe pain on the right side of my left breast pulsating underneith. Every time I bend over they are very sharp and throbbing. Just thought I would share my story. Hope this helps. LaDonna

I'm not sure what it is you are experiencing, I am pretty sure you should call your PCP and get an appointment to check it out. I don't know. Good luck, Dawn Vickers, RN, BLC, CLC
