Is my period making my breasts sore?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

t’s normal for your breasts to be painful in the week or two weeks before your period. This is a symptom of pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS), also known as cyclical breast pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’re most likely to feel a dull, heavy, and aching pain in both breasts simultaneously. Your armpits may feel achy too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you think you’re experiencing cyclical breast pain, it can help to keep a pain diary. For the next two months, please make a note of when you’re experiencing the pain and how bad it is. You could add a note to your phone calendar each day. This will help you to understand better when the pain happens and how bad it is. You could then talk through your findings with your local MSI provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
