" Question My left breast is very sore and I&amp;#039;m getting sharp pains there, which though infrequent, are causing me a lot of discomfort. I&amp;amp;#8217;m not due a period and I am not pregnant &amp;amp;#8211; is there anything that could be causing this? What can I do to ease the pain?   Answer  Breast pain is usually hormonally triggered, and if you have recently started the contraceptive injection this may be a cause. One of the commonest treatments used in breast pain is evening primrose oil, which is a natural supplement. If evening primrose oil or simple painkillers do not ease this problem, or if the pain returns, make a doctor&amp;#039;s appointment to get it checked out. With this type of complaint, I would always suggest that your GP checks your breast to exclude infections. Don&amp;#039;t worry that there is anything more serious going on because this would be very rare at your age.
