Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Ms XXXXXXX

Presence of continuous pain without associated lump and if of shorter duration is likely to be musculoskeletal pain. I hope there is no redness, discolouration of overlying skin.
I would suggest you the following
1. Hot water fomentation
2. Analgesic like Ibuprofen will be helpful.

If the symptoms persists , consult your Physician for further assessment.

Take Care

It is not red but certainly pinker than the other breast. I have had it for 5 days now.
