My right breast has a tender spot deep inside. I dont know why it is sore, but it feels like muscle tissue. ?

Question

What could this be?

Answer 1

get it checked out fast.sounds like breast cancer

Answer 2

have you bumped yourself recently?  I managed to slam my breast recently playing sport - omg it hurt so much and I was tender for about a week inside the breast.

Otherwise I'd go to my GP and get it checked - it could be anything (or nothing!), but it's better to be safe.

I went to my doctor with a similar thing, and it was ok - turns out our breast tissue continues to change throughout our lives - but I felt a heap better having seen someone about it.

Additional Note:   See this before you go for a mammogram:

I posted this to another question, but I will tell you that I do not have the hardness near the nipple.  This is my previous post, and hopefully it will be some sort of help to you.  I wish you well.   Here you go.....  ALSO, don't let comments of breast cancer upset or scare you.  Just have it checked, as it could only be a non-malignant cyst or lump.  Those are very common and can be removed.  

I don't know if this will help any.....but I'm having a similar issue. I have had a pain behind my right breast, more off to the side closer to under my arm and also directly behind the breast. When I press, it is sore. When I fall asleep during the night in bed, I wake up sore again. The doctor took Xray's and nothing showed. I went in 3 times, seeing 2 different doctors. They repeat the same thing to me. They are saying it's a "muscular" issue. I'm to take 200mg's of Advil, Motrim, or Ibuprophen, 3 times a day. I chose Advil. The thing is, I've been doing this for AT LEAST 3 weeks now. It's annoying. They also mentioned "inflamation". I check my b*****s for lumps, etc..... nothing shows, the doctors have both checked me, and I'm clear. I just have this annoying and "sometimes" hurting pain. So, that's all I can offer to you for now. I am bothered by it, and I am really hoping it leaves SOON!

Maybe you have a similar thing going on....maybe? Mine comes and goes in waves also. It is rather frustrating, huh?

I hope it clears up for you and it goes away. This is all I can offer to you at this point.

Be well now. :o)

Answer 4

Have you looked into having a mammogram?  those new digital mammograms have unbelievable resolution.  Yes, I am a guy, but I still answer questions if I think I have sometime to add.  Call your GP and schedule an exam and mammogram ASAP.

Answer 5

If its near your armpit and it feels like a lump it could be breast cancer. I'd say you should go to your doctor and have it checked out.
