You are not alone with this kind of annoying pain, I have exactly the same problem for the past 18 years, My annual mammogram is clear. I continue to take Vit E, C, B6 & 12, evening primrose.
My doctors can't find anything wrong, I think I'm going through menopause. I do breast self-exam almost everything, my fear is still there. My only assurance is that if I have cancer I would not be here anymore.


I hope I was able to give you some relief.
