Hi Becky:
I hope this website is helpful. The bottom line message I hope you get from it is that breast tenderness does not always equal breast cancer, but it is a symptom that if lingers should be diagnosed. Good luck.

Dear Becky, I am a mammographer and can tell you breast tenderness is a common complaint. Usually it is not related to breast cancer but be sure to get a breast exam by your doctor and ask about having a mammogram just to be sure. Some docs also recommend certain vitamins and diet to help. Another common problem believe it or not is ill fitting bras. Your doc or mammographer should be able to teach you the correct way to do monthly breast exams, very important in early detection.
