What Could Prolonged Tenderness In Breasts And Nipples Indicate?

Both breast are very tender even more so around the nipple and I have not had a baby recently, nor am i pregnant, and this is constant which started about a year or so ago. What are some of the possibilities this could be? Breast cancer does run in the family but I was tested brca2 negative.

Pain is something that goes strongly against breast cancer.
Breast cancers are almost never painful to start with and present as painless lumps.
Pain, like what you are having, happens most commonly with hormonal disturbances and not breast cancer.
