Hard sore breast tissue
Common Questions and Answers about Hard sore breast tissue
sore
Over the past few months I've noticed that there's hard tissue in my right breast, but not the other. I've read before that teenagers (I'm 17), due to fluctuating hormones, tend to have breast changes.
There's no pain-- even with applied pressure on the tissue, and the nipples appear to be the same on both sides. However, there is pain anytime I apply pressure to my right armpit, if that has any relation.
Now the hole is larger and drainging serosanguinous drainage and the darkened tissue looks either bruised or black, it is a hard area to look at. The entire underside of my left breast (where the sore is) is painful and it is very painful to touch or clean the actual open area. I was wondering what this might be. I tried to get into see my MD today but he is out of town, so I tried all other MD offices in my area and no one had any openings.
While the tech was doing the left breast, she asked me if I had ever had breast surgery on that breast. I have never had breast surgery. She said the ultrasound showed scar tissue. How could that be as I have never had breast surgery?

I am 47 years old and had my breast reduction Aug 09. I healed ok. My breasts have been so sore ever since, when it was time for my mammo in May of this year I cringed at the thought because my breasts are still so sensitive! Surely if I had one just a year ago and breast reduction 9 months prior I am fine.
I found a lump in June. Thought nothing of it...scar tissue it must be, Then in August I thought, I really should make sure this really is scar tissue and I consulted with my PCP.
My breast feels so heavy and hard. During the day my arm brushes against my breast and by the end of the day I feel very sensitive and sore. Actually, the only time I am comfortable is when I am laying down. I am still using ice packs...should I switch to heat? I have read about massaging the breast and exercises but I wasn't given any. The beginning of March I start Radiation and I want to have my breast feeling better before that starts.

on the large one but not enough on the smaller one. My surgeon wants to go back in and get more breast tissue from where the smaller one was. Is this really necessary? What is the percentage of it growing back without removing more breast tissue vs. having this re-excision. I have the surgery already scheduled for next week but I'm feeling a little pressured. Also, my breast is still sore and I don't really want further deformity and tissue loss although it will be very small.
So in the last month I've had multiple breast lumps. Not painful, movable but sometimes tender. Just when I work myself thinking it HAS to be cancer, they disappear. Now today my breast is sore, yet again, and a new lump has appeared right on top of my ribcage under my breast. I don't know what to think or do anymore. I can't tell if it's orange peel skin, or normal hair follicles on my breast. I can't tell if it's dimpling, or stretch marks.
The pain you are experiencing could be also caused by a pulled or inflamed muscle.Of course there is no muscle tissue in the breast itself, so it is not possible to pull a muscle there.However one can damage the ligaments or the muscles that support the breasts.If you have heavy breasts,you'll find it more comfortable wearing a good supportive bra even when sleeping.
Yes I have fatty tissue in my breast. I had an mamo and ultrasound and every thing came back fine.Now I'm experiencing sore nipples and slight pain. No discharge or swelling.I have had soreness in shoulder and arm. I don't if that is due to my job which requirement push and pull and lift objects all day.I don't know if my bra is playing a factor to why my breast sore or tender. I do have thyroid problems could that play an factor? I'm really am concern.
additional screening proved hard to see due to dense breast tissue (larger breasts like you). My doc suggested I "watch and see"; but I read that an MRI is a better detector for dense breasts than ultrasound or mammo. I went to another specialist, did an MRI and (in my case only - not yours) they did detect stage 1 breast cancer, which I'm now starting to treat with success. Moral of the story - if I would have waited - my situation could have been vastly different.
I had recently lost weight and noticed a hard knot right above my right breast towards the center. I showed doctor and she ordered an ultrasound. When she called to give me results, she said it was just "fat", she had another name for it...sub-somthing...anyway...it bothers me sometimes. It hasn't gotten any bigger. As anyone ever heard of this?
s not painful at all but my right breast has further enlarged and the lump is about a third of my breast, its also very hard and fixed. i had an ultrasound done but the doctor only said that i have one breast bigger than the other. now im starting to get really sore armpit specially the right one and i was wondering if my doctor's diagnosis may be right????
i was also told that since i am 19 years old, i wouldnt be taken seriously....i'm a little confused!!!!
s still a large area of the breast. My ultrasound only showed swollen tissue. How long until the hard area will resolve? I'm scheduled for a follow up with my surgeon next week and he says he will biopsy it it is still there. I've tried everything to resolve it, but it keeps coming back. Is this a normal amount of time for mastitis to resolve?
Is the sore still present along with the pain? My first thought was cysts or lymph tissue but the sore complicates things, along with your family history. I agree that you should be seen. Good luck! Also there are groups that help individuals pay for certain medical care, if you can't find any remember you're health is worth it.
