Breast pain is one of the signs of breast cancer! Other symptoms includes:
Breast or Armpit lump: The most common manifestation of breast cancer is a lump or a thickening on the breast or armpit. Any thickened area of the breast that does not feel similar to surrounding breast tissue can be suggestive of a breast cancer. Presence of a lump or thickening in the armpit is suggestive of spread of cancer to axillary lymph nodes (situated in armpits).
Changes in skin of breast: Breast cancer can present as a redness or dimpling on the skin of breast, making it resemble an orange peel.
Changes in nipple(s): Presence of a rash around nipple can be a sign of breast cancer. Breast cancer may also lead to an inverted or sunken nipple. Any discharge from the nipple, in particular bloody discharge can be caused due to breast cancer. I read everything about breast cancer on zovon and found that if you consult a doctor at right time, it is no longer a life-threatening condition.
Others: Flaking, crusting, peeling or scaling of the skin of breast or nipple is also a sign of breast cancer.
Anything abnormal needs to be checked out. I had very uncomfortable shoulder pain and breast bone pain and swollen. Breast Cancer surgeon was so sure “95% chance it’s just a cyst”. But she ordered me an ultrasound and found out it was breast cancer. Good luck with you and don’t delay the diagnosis.
I let mine go for a year before I received any help because I understood that cancer , in general, was painless. My Breast Cancer surgeon explained that was a fallacy . Mine started with burning and sharp pain. I was diagnosed in May with DCIS (ductal carcenoma in situ) Grade 1 , very slow growing . He will do a lumpectomy and sentinel biopsy in 2 weeks. Good Luck to You. The quicker you are diagnosed , the better !
I know the waiting is almost unbearable. I had my lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy at Moffitt in Tampa Dec 21, 2021, during COVID and I can’t say enough good things about the staff there. My first appt was Nov 18, 2-weeks after my diagnosis, and surgery about 5 weeks later. Hang in there. Like many doctors, my surgeon splits his week between clinical appts and surgery days so getting n for the initial visit was the biggest hurdle. Fortunately my stage 1 IDC was minor compared to what was he normally deals with there. I still drive 1 1/2 hours every year for my annual mammogram.

2 ReactionsMy only symptom was breast pain and aching. I’m 63 so the pain and aching is not harmonies and I had a hysterectomy in 2007 as well.
A nurse at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa said that ‘Yes, pain in your breast can also be a sign of cancer’.
