I have been having extremely tender breasts, it lasts for a month, leaves for a week or 2, then comes back again for a month if not longer.

Does anybody else get this ? It feels about the same as when my milk had came in after my children, VERY sensitive to the touch, tender & swollen.

" Please try the Evening Primrose Oil as someone else suggested. I know exactly what you are talking about with the extreme discomfort, it really does affect one all over when your breasts are hurting! I also am taking the 3 G of EPO and have found amazing relief. "

" Hi
Yes ... I have started taking Evening Primrose Oil as well, but only 1000mg per day ~ I also take Omega 3 Oil capsules ~ they help your joints and bones, but also help with depression, which is why I take them.
Good Luck xx "

" ScorpioBliss, I just began to have the same problem this week! It followed another condition, for which I sought medical treatment, wherein it felt like I was having menstrual cramps. The MD checked and said I had both an overgrowth of bacteria and a slight bladdar infection. I was placed on two antibiotics.

Thereafter, my breasts started feeling sore and enlarged exactly as they did before I stopped menstruating. However, I went through menopause three years ago (age 45)and this is the first time I've had such a symptom.

If it doesn't subside, I plan to return to the MD. In the meantime, let us know how your exam turned out. Take care. "

" I used to get tender breast also right before my per. I haven't had one since March now but for the past few days they are beyond sore and my nipples hurt when my braw rubs against them. I am thinking maybe the per. is going to come since they are hurting but I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I just want this all to go away. "
