Try evening primrose oil (pills, a supplement)

How much Magnesium did you take to show improvement?

The only thing that stopped breast pain was giving up coffee. It’s not just caffeine because I was drinking decaf and had horrible breast pain. As soon as I stopped coffee for a few weeks, pain was gone.

Calcium supplements. Make sure you're getting 1200mg of calcium per day.

I used to have incredibly sore breasts during the second half of my cycle. I tried several different supplements alleging to alleviate the soreness with no change. Finally, the calcium did the job. I can't eat dairy so, clearly, I was deficient.

I don’t think I can handle cutting back on caffeine! I will try magnesium, though.

The pain isn’t bad enough that I’ve ever had to miss work, but it’s bad enough that it’s distracting, and it wakes me up at night.

Eliminating caffeine never made a difference for me. Taking magnesium actually did.

Cut back on caffeine.

Don’t schedule a mammogram for then!

How bad is it? Magnesium and low on sugar, caffeine, alcohol all help.

I had my tubes tied, and since being off hormonal birth control, I have had terrible breast pain for about 8-10 days before my period every month.
I mostly just kind of deal with it and take ibuprofen, but I was thinking about buying a different bra or getting heated breast pads.

Anyone else dealing with this? From what I read online it’s fairly common. What do you do?
