What Causes Soreness And Tenderness In The Left Breast And Armpit?
Soreness and tenderness came on suddenly about 24 hours ago in my left breast and armpit. It felt like I had pulled a muscle, although I have no idea how that would have happened without my knowing it. I should mention that I am quite fit, - lifetime of classical ballet study - and exercise daily. The soreness is very noticeable when I am doing crunches, or when I apply any pressure by pushing on the breast (like a self-exam).

What Causes Soreness And Tenderness In The Left Breast And Armpit?
Hello, It is due to mastalgia associated with slight hormonal changes. As a first line management, you can take drugs like Mefenamic Acid for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
