What Causes Intermittent Sharp Pain On The Left Side Of The Breast?
I have a sharp pain on my left side, just at the lower edge of my breast. It just showed up about a week ago and it has increased in frequency. It is not constant, but it hurts when I take a deep breath. I am 59 years and about 20 overweight. I have asymptomatic Lupus and had a gastric sleeve 3 years ago.

Hello welcome to the health care magic
Your left breast physical examination is to be done first by palpation
If any mass palpated than USG, FNAC like investigation needed
You have pain while breathing that suggest towards muscular strain pain
For that ibuprofen 200 mg for 5 days can be prescribed
Take care
Hope this will help you
Consult surgeon for examination and further work up accordingly
