"Feel like Dolly Parton" It's THE WORST!!! SO heavy, my shoulders and backs killing me from my bra holding up 6 pounds like this!

Try drinking green tea.

Did she have pain in both breasts at the same time? What was her age?

Breast pain is not typical for breast cancer.

How long did it last?

No, I can't have caffeine. I drink water.

It’s a hormone imbalance. It sucks but doesn’t happen every cycle for me. Maybe once every 4-5 months.

Yes both, all over, I think they are swollen. At times I've had just the nipples painful but this is all of them.

Is it both breasts? Nipples only or all over? Are they swollen?

I don't drink coffee or soda, just water.

I had raging PMS for two weeks then the breast pain started then a few days later my horrible flooding period started. It's over now yet the bad breast pain remains. What is going on? What hormone issue is this? I can't even put on a bra!
