What Causes Pain In Upper Breast Near Armpit Area?
Hi, I have pain in my upper right side of my breast but its near the lower armpit area. When I touch it it hurts, its tender and I think it may be causing pain in my shoulder as well. Also it becomes painfull without any pressure applied(like a sharp pain). I can fell a large like lump. I have had issues with lymph node swelling in the past (dr thinks its lupus) but this feel differnt. I am nervous as my mother got cancer when she was young, Im 25. Any thoughts?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
First of all remember a simple dictum. Cancers are always painless to start with. I can understand your feeling as your mother had cancer.
In your case this looks to be fibroadenosis only. This is a benign disease and never known to get transformed into cancers.
To prove Let you undergo:
Mammography
Ultrasonography
Guided Fine needle aspiration cytology.
Of course a clinical examination by a Surgeon .
All this will lead to a very proper diagnosis and give guideline for treatment.
