Hi Crystal - Probably the pain doesn't have anything to do with it. But if this lump has appeared recently - i.e., you haven't had it your whole life – keep your eye on it. If it doesn't disappear within a week or two; or if it gets larger, or your nipple and/or breast seem infected (hot, red, itchy, swollen, painful) - then best to see a doctor and find out what's up, OK? Good luck - PJH

Crystal, if the lump has been there longer than a month, you need to go see a doctor to have it checked out. Sometimes little lumps can come and go as hormones change over a menstrual cycle, but a lump that doesn't change or that gets worse over the course of a month needs checking out. Don't panic; most lumps are benign. I hope you get good news.

I havent noticest it for a while and then it started to get bigger. Its been there for about two months. I had my daughter a year ago. Do you think it could be from that? Both my aunts have had breast cancer and my grandma died from cancer. Everyone is saying its nothing.
