Sore area on bra line when I push on it

[Jade313]

So on and off for a while now, I have this sore area under my left boob on the bra line . I don’t generally feel it unless I actually press on the area or something is against it . I have seen a breast specialist a few times as breast cancer runs in the family and other then a rare benign breast lump on the upper part of my boob , he has reassured me that nothing is there after an ultrasound. It does feel almost grisly/ bumpy ( not lumps) I suppose you could say.
I don’t wear tight bras as I don’t have much boob so I wear light fitted sports bra’s . I am a cleaner so maybe I keep pulling something their ? I have no idea but my anxiety just can’t settle ! Anyone else had this before ?
im 34 just to add !

Im 44 and have a bruised feeling under my right boob from time to time - no cause, goes away after a while. About aide size of a 2p coin.
Id say mine is like a bruise kn the rib but have a good inch of fat there cushioning it!

Hope yours resolveitself soon!

@Happycow thank you , it comes and goes so I did wonder if maybe it’s a hormonal thing or just comes with age ! I do have the mirena coil, so i even wondered if it could be to do with that but who knows

Does it only hurt if you press on the area? Sometimes you can get tender areas in your ribs that are quite painful if you press on them. Totally unrelated but was your rare benign growth a Phyllodes?

@Benjithedog yes only when I press on it or lean on it , it feels grainy in that are and sits pretty much on that rib area I guess ! It comes and goes so I’m currently trying to see if there is a pattern as I don’t currently have periods as I have the mirena coil.
no I had a rare tubular adenoma , iv had scans and biopsies for that and breast specialist says everything else is fine . I’m just unsure as to why I get this one sore area if everything is fine!

google slipping rib syndrome or floating rib syndrome. it can be there.

Rib pain can also feel like it’s coming from the breast and it can hurt if you press on it or move a certain way.. I had this and it on my inner side of right boob and it felt like the pain was in the boob only it was on the rib junction where it met the breast bone. It also felt grisly. The good thing is you’ve had it checked and there ia nothing to worry an out. Mine was Costochondritis. ----

@Benjithedog the biopsy was for the other small lump I had on the top part of my breast which was a tubular adenoma.
I have heard of costochondritis but I thought that was more towards the mid chest and upper area as opposed to under the bra line ? Maybe I’m wrong !

I have costochondritis and it affects multiple areas of my chest and back. Sometimes all at once. Sometimes just by my armpit. Sometimes my lower ribs. Fucking hate it and it makes me miserable.
