Intermittent stabbing breast pains

Hi everyone! Hoping I can help others over the coming months through this board, if I can.

My query is about having sore breasts. This only started within a few weeks of starting Evorel patches. They are more or less constant stabbing pains. Used to be on the right breast only, now it’s both breasts.

The pain is bearable and something I could live with however I do worry about breast cancer and that I might be at more risk because of this pain. I have been on the patches for about a year now.

Any thoughts on this? I don’t want to bother GP plus I couldn’t get an appointment if I wanted!

Thanks for any input

🤔To be absolutely sure you needn’t be concerned about anything breast related……you will need to be examined by your GP.
