You definitely want to get it checked.  A few years back I was having pain in my left breast.  I got on-line at various breast cancer sights and read that breast pain is not usually one of the symptoms of breast cancer.   I went to my doctor and was sent for a diagnostic mammogram.  When speaking with both my gyno and the tech who did my mammo, I mentioned that I read breast pain isn't a sign of BC. Both told me many breast cancers start with breast pain and anytime you have an unusual pain, it should be checked. 

Long story short, it turned out I had frozen shoulder and my breast pain was reflective pain.  It was in my shoulder and radiating into my breast.

Just curious, have you ever had shingles?

@Mothertrucker I hope you pain has disappeared by now. If not, I'm sure you made an appt to see the doctor. I too had pain years ago that (as someone else mentioned ) was radiating from my shoulder. This has nothing to do with your particular pain at this moment but I suggest and this is only my opinion, that when you get your 3D Mammo also get a Sonogram at the same time, every year. Sometimes, things can be seen in a Sono that can't be seen in a Mammo.

Again, I hope your pain has gone or you've made an appt to see a doctor, for your physical and mental health. How does the song go, " How Lovely To Be A Woman "!

No and that reminds me that when I was at the Dr in Oct, they were supposed to call me when they got the Shingrix in stock!

So, she couldnt feel anything  (nor could  I) so she sent me for a STAT mammogram and ultrasound which showed nothing..

It is still sore, but as long as its nothing bad I can live with it-  I was pretty nervous..Glad I went in...

@Mothertrucker Yay! I'm so glad for you. The next time you go for a mammo, insist on also getting a script for a sono. That's how they found my Breast Cancer. It  didn't show up in my mammo but it showed in the sonogram.

Again, great! This is a good sign for this new year for you.

@Mothertrucker years ago I had a liquid filled cyst on my left breast. It was a huge cyst even though I'm flat chested. I had a sonogram done on it. The cyst did cause soreness. It has since gone away.
