One sore breast

It's been a bit sore for about 10 days/maybe 2 weeks. Not really painful, just sort of a bruised feeling on the side of my breast. I can feel it a bit in my armpit too - although I'm not sure if I've made it worse because I keep prodding and poking the area! No obvious lumps. Could it just be hormonal? I finished my pill packet 2 days ago.

It's not sore anymore but I've got a very slight 'pulling' feeling that extends to my arm. I can't really describe how it feels - I'm just aware of that breast. Any experiences like this?

Anything breast related warrants a call to the GP, they will more than likely refer you to the breast clinic to get checked.

Chances are it's hormonal, when I went with pain they said that is generally something they don't worry about so much but definitely get it checked.

I've got this too OP, I've had it nearly 2 weeks but it seems to be easing off, mine is down the side and underneath, and I get a pulling feeling too, sore when I touch at the side and under it but my actual breast isn't sore. I am wondering if it's because I've put a bit of weight on over the last few months, going to see how it goes and then put a call in to GP if it doesn't improve.

Thank you both.
That's weird, @2me2u2u2me, that sounds just like me - I almost can't describe how it feels, I'm just 'aware' of it. I have a call with my Dr next week. I'm expecting they'll at least call me in for an examination and possible referral to the breast clinic which is fine by me, I'd rather be safe.

Yes I have that feeling, I have one boob naturally bigger then the other and it’s that side that I am more aware of, it doesn’t hurt at all but just notice that breast is there where are the other side I don’t think about. Also have the feeling slightly into arm too. X

Just to update- I went to the breast clinic and had a mammogram and everything looks fine. Dr thinks the pain is hormone related. I would encourage anyone who is worried to do the same - they were really helpful and thorough.
