I'm so glad you wrote this article because I have been experiencing similar pain and had no idea why. At a young age of 22 (and never pregnant) my mind went immediately to breast cancer (it doesn't help that October is breast cancer awareness month so it's already on my mind). I went to the doctor yesterday and he said that it could be due to the caffeine and chocolate that I consume on a daily basis. The only thing I found to be weird is that it's only one breast, instead of both. It has also noticeably increased in size recently in addition to the pain that I've had for a while, which made me wonder a bit. Have you noticed that too at all? I'm getting an ultrasound in a week so at least I'll get confirmation then but I'm still worried because it just seems so weird. Who would've thought that caffeine would have such a strange side effect?!
