I've been experiencing pain on the left side of my breast for about 34 months now, and it's been continuous. About 67 months ago, I also started noticing cyclical mastalgia. Its getting really concerning for me. Could these two be somehow related? Should I be worried about something more serious? How should I approach getting this checked out?
