My right breast at the side/ going under my arm is quite sore to touch. I noticed when reaching for something as I felt a weird sore “pull” and it doesn’t feel like a muscle etc. I can’t feel any lumps, I have quite large breasts. I’m 26 and I’ve also been having flank pain towards the front for a few weeks and stomach pain. I doubt it’s connected but worth a mention I suppose.
I had a baby almost 3 months ago but not breastfed. My breasts calmed down quickly so I don’t think it’s related.
Is it worth mentioning to the GP?
