Hi,
I am really fed up with the monotony of Pre-Menstrual Breast Pain![:'(]
I have been to the Doctor and was told it was to do with my age and that although not clinically proven I could try Evening Primrose [which I do take].
Sometimes I take Ibuprofen at night as the pain wakes me when I move. IO was told this could go on for a few months - for me this is now a couple of years. Some months are worse than othersyet as soon as my period arrives the pain dissapears overnight?

Any suggestions?

Manual lymph drainage. It is a very gentle therapy and really does help to stop the pain. [link= http://www.mlduk.org.uk ]www.mlduk.org.uk[/link] has a list of therapists around the country.

RE: Breast Pain

Thank you, I have checked the web sites and there is a lady quite close to me so I'll explore that route.

RE: Breast Pain

If not, you could try Homeopathy, or even Bowen Technique which deals with that too.

RE: Breast Pain

Definately try homeopathy.

I am a homeopath, and have also been treated for breast pain with homeopathy. It works!

Look up a homeopath near you [link= http://www.homeopathy-soh.org ]www.homeopathy-soh.org[/link]or the alliance of registered homeopaths, for a qualified one.

all the best

RE: Breast Pain

If I may, jump in here. I also suffer and now the million $ questions. How would I find a homeopath in south africa.
What I normally do is make a hottie and take two pain killers.
thanks in advance.

I know this sounds mental - but a raw cabbage leaf on your boob may well help - it's an old wive's remedy, and does work for swollen sore breasts. I've used it myself.

RE: Breast Pain

I agree with spinal music here. I know midwifes recommend warm damp cabbage leaves for mastitis on breast feeding mums and it does work.

RE: Breast Pain

caringsoul and spinal music, I had to chuckle, yet to be honest when my son was born. He could not drink off of me, he was rather a sickly little boy.
At the hospital, they really did wrap cabbage leaves over my breast.
I was suffering from milk fever, yet never thought it would work now.
This I am gunna try, lol well when I get my next breast pains.
thanks

Wear a very comfortable bra and take aspirins.
