Thank you so much for asking your question. I also noticed that you added "monthly cycle" to the question above but I'm not sure if you mean your breast tenderness is only at this time, or if it's all month long. It sounds from your post that breast tenderness is common for you but that it's getting noticeably worse.
I have had a similar issue myself, and I know other friends who have mentioned that one breast tends to be more sensitive than the other, so I know you are far from alone in dealing with a sore breast. What concerns me is that it's getting worse.
When it comes to our breasts, I really don't think we can be too careful. I definitely agree with alison b and I think a call to your OB/GYN is a great idea. That way he or she can do a clinical exam of both breasts in the office and ask you some questions about your symptoms and rule out anything serious.
Have you by chance been drinking way more caffeine than normal? One of my girlfriends swears that every time she hits Starbucks way more than normal her left breast acts up, and it's even worse as her period time approaches.
Please post again to let us know what your doctor says. Best of health to you, M
