I am 35 years old- had mammo and they said I have fibercystic breasts. I
have never seen anything in a woman's mag about this- and I am tired of
the pain. It cannot be normal to squeeze the breast -like you are
breastfeeding- and have green tinted liquid come out- or yellowish oil
like inside a vit e capsule. And I have almost sworn off caffeine.
every once in a while I drink a coke.
There has to be something that can be done. Sometimes I feel like I
can't breathe from the sheer pain of boobs just hurting. Anyone else
understand?

I have just started a three month course of antibiotics for what appear to be boils on my breasts. These are really painful and when they errupt leave actual holes in the breast and scar like mad. Does anyone else get these painful, embarrassing boils. By the way my Dr. says its acne, im 37
