Mastalgia?

Wondering if anyone can help shed any light. I stopped breastfeeding over two months ago and ever since I've had breast pain. I had a mammogram and all clear. It's only one side and I can't pinpoint any triggers but it's a horrible, aggravating type of discomfort, a little like a Chinese burn. I'm still producing milk not sure if that is of any relevance. I also started taking desogestrel around the time of stopping feeding but stopped as it didn't agree with me- breakouts, breakthrough bleeding and then headaches which have now all stopped. I wonder if that has any relevance either, I read that mastalgia can be linked to hormonal changes. It's just getting me down, it's not an acute pain but so uncomfortable
