SORE BOOBS ON A 11YR OLD 'HORMONAL' GIRL - ANY IDEAS TO HELP WITH PAIN??!!!

30 replies

DD1 has had sore boobs, on and off, for quite a few months now - I know she's quite hormonal and is developing quite normally - ie hair down below, sweaty armpits etc etc (lovely!)....but just recently her boobs have become far more painful - they look fine and she says they hurt a lot for a week or so then the pain dies off and then comes back again - typically hormonal!

I took her to a chemist and spoke to a pharmacist who, to be honest, found my request for anything that might help quite amusing and had a job not to laugh. Needless to say I left the chemist quite rapidly - he was useless and not interested in helping with any ideas/suggestions at all.

Does anyone know of anything she can put on them to help with the pain? I know she can have regular doses of calpol/nurofen but I'm just wondering if there is a cream she can use? The pain really does get her down and she gets tearful/fed up. She's wearing a padded bra which helps a fair bit.

Anyone? TIA.

I think you are right to be careful about giving lots of painkillers/medication. It's not a great habit to start. I have terrible hormones and find taking evening primrose oil helps me too. I also take a lavender wheat bag to bed with me. Good luck, my dd is nearly 11 but has SEN... I'm dreading the onset of hormones!!

Korma....its a white set with silver stars all over them - hope that helps!

Its a horrible time she's going thru and I sympathise with anyone with an SEN child too - shockers....I asked DD1 how she felt last night and she said ok but her boobs were so sore again yesterday I could see she was fed up with them. She's very tired too so she's tending to be in bed now by 7pm and she easily sleeps 12hrs.

Moonmother, thanks

just wasnt sure if to mention it to the doc as even though she has just turned 8, I reckon it started around 7.5
