Q: brest slight pain when puting on bra in left breast for 17 months on and off!!!

hello please help in late dec 2007 i got an annoying tingling pain when puting on my bra or moving a certain way around my left nipple area not my nipple.it has come and went over the last year and half and seems to be getting less painfull and annoying.i put it down to perhaps i hurt myself or my husband got little carried away in the bedroom department.embrassing i know!!.i didnt then think of cancer as i feel no lump or change in texture or look of breast ,however why is it still there from time to time and why pain in that certain area.if it was cancer would it get alot worse in that time period or would it do this?? eight monts ago i had an eptopic and my left tube removed and 2 and a half years ago i had septicema .so my luck is not good.i am worried i have left it this late and i have full blown cancer late stage and will die.l am 13 weeks pregnant just now and only 36 nearly 37.what could be wrong with me.plese help!!! please note its only sore if i put bra on or pull a certain area never sore on its own.

Hi - This doesn't sound like a breast cancer symptom. And yes, cancer would have developed and grown a lot more evident during that timeframe. Please read our post on breast pain; perhaps that'll give you some information that will guide you as to whether/when to see a doctor about this. Good luck on your pregnancy! PJH
