Breast pain

Hi everyone. Just a quick question. I've not been diagnosed yet but GP and gynae suspect endo. One of the (many!) symptoms I've had is breast pain during/just before my period. Just recently it's been getting worse and lasting longer. I've got extremely tender boobs at the moment and I'm not even ovulating for another few days. It hurts to walk, hurts to put a bra on, hurts even when I slightly brush an arm past! I've always had some breast pain with my period, but this now lasts for at least three weeks and is stupidly painful. Does anyone else get this? I can't figure out if it's something that could be related to endo or if it's something else.

I see they mention Evening Primrose Oil which I have heard is effective, you can buy it over the counter.

Always worth discussing this with your GP if you haven’t already.
