Why is a certain area on my breasts sore?!
Question: Yesterday I was outside with a few other kids just goofing off, and then when I woke up this morning, an area of my breasts closer to my arm pits were very sore. I KNOW what sore breasts is a sign of, but they are only sore in the same spot where my arms are sore too from goofing off for so long. Could this be similar to a pulled muscle or just achey muscles? My arms are sore right beside the spot, and my shoulders are sore too. Could it be from running and my arms hitting there?
Any answers are appreciated. Thank you.

Depending upon the type of pain it could be various ailments, but from your description and the fact that it started just after physical activity it is probobly nothing.
If it is sore only to the touch or when your arm/chest brush eachother it could be chaffing from sweating/running/clothes etc.. Lotion the area and try not to aggravate the soreness too much - it should be gone in no time.
If it is sore when you move your arms or push/pull/lift things - then it is probobly just muscle soreness from strenuous activity and should go away soon.
If the pain is constant and extremely severe then you may have some type of more serious muscle injury. If this were the case you would have probobly already seen a doctor.
If it persists then maybe consult a professioinal. If you're really worried and it doesn't go away, consider, as a woman with with breast tenderness (assuming it is not a monthly pain), checking yourself for lumps. Again lumps could just be a symptom of menstration and will go away in a couple days. Lumps from "that time of the month" and those as a result of breast cancer are different and will feel different. But better safe than sorry I suppose.
