What Causes A Painful Lump Under The Breast?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I have a pain right under my left breast, when i bend down, pull my arm, sometimes breathe, it's worse in the morning when I get up. I do alot of housework and use my arms alot, but I can feel a long lump under my breast and is sore to the touch. I think I pulled a muscle, but not sure since I have the pain 3 weeks already. If I lift my breast and hold down firm, it doesn't hurt when i take a deep breath.....any clues? Thanks for your advice

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely.
So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.
Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Apply warm water pad and ice packs alternatively on affected areas of chest.
Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like ibuprofen and thiocolchicoside.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1 week. If not improving then consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
