Dear Susan- I cannot tell you for sure if the two symptoms are related, although some women do report "referred" pain when there is a breast problem. The fact that you have a persistent breast mass requires further evaluation. Depending on your age and other factors, various tests may be indicated. Have your doctor evaluate your lump and see a specialist if you feel you need more information and further workup. Good luck. Hannah Brooks, MD,FACS

Hi,

My doctor examined a lump near my right breast under my arm last year and determined that although it was painful, it was cyclical and benign.

Now the lump is always there, always sore. I have pain running down my right arm that extends to the mid-forearm, and especially in the elbow.

Could these two things be connected, and should I revisit the doctor for another examination?

Thanks for your help.
