Hi Ladies,
I'm just wondering how many of you have breast pain with peri, and how you cope with it. I am having a rough time with this - I've always had fibrocystic breasts (occasionally getting HUGE cysts), but "the girls" have been much more sore lately. I should be getting my period soon, but my cycle is so nutty lately that it still may be weeks. I am currently taking vitamin E and Evening Primrose - anyone have any other suggestions?
I also have read that some of you have had pectoral muscle pain. I think this may be my issue as well. How do you differentiate pec pain from breast pain?

I have certainly suffered episodes of breast pain during peri-meno. It definitely seems to be something that comes and goes. Sometimes my breasts are so tender that I cry out if my husband just brushes past me! Not good for the old love life I can assure you!!! I know that I am in trouble when I can't turn over in bed. When I turned 50 I was called up for my first mamogram. I had to cancel it because it came during a period of awful tenderness. Had I gone ahead with it at the time; I would probably have ended up in orbit!


Regards,
