Honestly, my first thought when I read your post was also that it may be your bra. Have you tried changing it to one with no underwire to rule out that possibility? If not, please do so that you at least know whether or not the pain on your breast is bra-related. I know you say you had been wearing it for 6 months before the pain but that could also mean that it's time to change the bra or it took a while for any pain to kick in. It's also very important to be properly fitted for a bra, so if you haven't been fitted by a professional, then it's a good idea to do so.
It is reassuring that your doctor performed a breast exam but if the pain persists after changing your bra then it would be a good idea to return to your doctor with your concerns.
