@sandrajane this is a super late reply, did you get anything resolved? I got sore breathy and armpit pain when using estrogen cream too. Still use it, still pain. I did do mammograms and have everything checked and everything is fine. So it obviously is the cream that is the cause. I did try HRT for three weeks, but then the armpit pain become so unbearable that I stopped it.
The cream has not helped much either, using it for 3 years now….

@tinedf meant sore breasts…

@tinedf I had mammo and ultra sound and saw the breast surgeon. All was clear. She showed me the films and explained nothing is showing. So all was kind of vague. I could just have sensitivity or it could be referred pain. As for the referred pain, I am getting nowhere either my doctors. I had ultrasounds on that side. Nothing. I worry about Costochondritis or heart, spleen, pancreas. Pretty stressful having this left sided issue for years and getting no answers.
Ask to get an ultra sound with mammo and speak to breast surgeon. I think we both are sensitive to the hormone and it’s not as rare as they lead you to believe. So many sites will tell you the cream or insert can not get into your system but we know that is total BS.
