Severe one sided breast pain

Hi all I’m just wanting some advise really I’ve had left side chest pain since Jan had a barrage of tests heart chest xray all gd eventually they sent me to the breast clinic were she sed I likely am having breast pain had mammogram and ultrasound all clear ,now this pain is horrendous and is much worse before period starts it’s a constant ache that never let’s up for a minute in the day I’m virtually sleeping clutching my chest I’ve tried evening primrose ibuprofen and many other pain killers nothing helps pain is often pleuratic aches on breathing and goes into my shoulder and down the left arm ,since January I’ve had altogether 21 days pain free there only advice to me now is a morphine patch ,I still worry this pain is something else as it’s not shifting at all I just want to know are there others with pain severe in one breast and what are your symptoms and what treatment have you tried surely it’s not normal to have pain severe every minute of the day
