What Causes Pain In Right Pectoral Muscle Area And Breast?
I have pain in my right pectoral muscle area and breast. I know that I overdid it carrying my dog (9 lbs) on a recent trip into the city. I m worried, too, about inflammatory breast cancer. I saw my primary care provider two days ago, she said it is more likely a muscle strain. Your thoughts?

It could a muscle strain as you have history of lifting heavy weight. Your daughter must have given you some pain killer. U can also apply violinist spray on that area twice in the day. No need to worry about cancer.... Your pain shall subside in a week or so. If it doesn't you can do a mammography done to rule out your fear of cancer. Regards
