I'd imagine the pressure of the mammogram has made your breast sore. Especially if you're still menstruating, and it's anywhere near your period, a mammogram can tend to make your breast quite sore indeed. I imagine the soreness will abate within a week; if it doesn't, ask your doctor what you can do for it, OK? Glad your tests were negative - PJH
