@lizzietish56 I am so happy for you that you found an answer. I too have a very painful right breast. Around 10 years ago I had a mammogram and explained my breast tenderness to the technician and explained it was my FM. When I told her to stop already on the right one she gave it an extra squeeze. I had severe again in my left for 2 months and my right for a whole year. I will not ever have another mammogram. I wish they would tell these technicians to respect the patient. I tried the sports bra but can't use them because I also have a torn rotator so can't get it off.

@1kay2 So sorry to hear of this. The Mammograms are painful enough without the FM. Don't skip them, maybe consider talking to the doctor about options. Maybe some kind of ultrasound???? Don't skip the mammograms though, breast cancer is not something to ignore. I've lost too many friends and family. Good luck to you.
