Shooting Pain In Breast - Pregnancy Related?
Posted: 01-25-06 20:20pm

I am five months pregnant with my fourth child. For the past several days, i've had a combination of shooting pain/numbness/tingling in my right breast. The pain/numbness begins in an area near my armpit and follows a line very close to the underwire of my bra. I also have an aching pain near the middle of my back on the same side. Although I originally attributed this to a possible pinched nerve, I am becoming concerned that it has been nearly a week and the symptoms have not abated at all. How likely is it that this is pregnancy related - or perhaps is my first guess more on target?

Thanks!

I am going through the same thing myself right now. My baby is 9.5 month tho. I have been noticing it on the left side..Starting at my armpits...Shooting across the nipple..Downwards.. Everywhere.
I actually go for a xray tomorrow.

thanks for the reply. Would you mind sharing the results of your visit? Via private message, of course, if you prefer...

I'm very curious - and more than a little concerned.

I think it might be something needing .Dr attention. I dont think it is pregnancy related, maybe the pains in your back may be though. My mother while pregnant--had a biopsy of some of her breast tissue because of abnormal breast pains, and pains in her armpit. She found it to be a benign mass, not needing removal. But since a breast is already tender and going thru a lot of changes during pregnancy--it might make you more suseptible to notice more pains, or other symptoms which may have been pretty silent before the pregnancy.


I am not a .Dr this is just my opinion. Let me know if you find out anything--please!!
