Today I was driving and had a sudden pain in my nipple. It felt like a needle stabbing my nipple. Then I touched both nipples and they were very sore. Kinda like if you touch a bruise.

Anytime time you experience any pain in the breasts it's usually a hormone problem. If you feel
Something it's a different matter.

I get that all the time. I have fibroadenoma and since the surgeries and when the weather is poorly and damp I suffer from sharp pains in the nipples and also it's a hormone issue. It's not to much to worry about I've got it for years now.

I see all these comments so hopefully someone can help me. Last night I was awakened with a sharp stabbing like pain in my left nipple. It has continued throughout the day today off and on. Feels like someone is stick a pin into my left nipple. What could this be. I am 55 years old, never had children due to ovaries not developing due to scarlet fever back in the day. So I have had no milk whatsoever from my nipples/breasts. What could be the cause of this? No insurance so would like to get a free "thought/diagnosis". Thank you.

Hello Anonymous,

Please contact your physician's office about this. Pain that persists all day should not be ignored.

Regards,

This happend to me as well. Except I felt the pain around my nipple and it hurt when I held it down. Im 16 and pregnant with my first baby. I dont know if this has to do with my breasts developing or the milk that ill be producing?

You sound identical to myself. This just started a week ago. It hurts so badly that I have to hold my breast until the pain stops. May I ask what you found out from the ultrsound. Im 48. Hyterectomy 8 yrs ago. I take hormonal replacement. But if I brush my breast againist anything, even the sheets, it will cause the pain to return.
