Constantly Hormonal...Sore Breasts

I'm very frustrated right now. For two months now I've had sore breasts and feel like I'm PMSing all the time. I did go to see a nurse practitioner this past week and brought up my sore breasts. I said I feel like it's hormonal and she said that's probably what it was. I didn't have an infection or anything abnormal like that in my breasts. I definitely do feel it is hormonal, but I'm frustrated because I don't understand why this would all suddenly happen like this. The only time I have a relief from the breast soreness is a couple of days after my period and then it comes right back. Things are quite stressful lately, and I don't know if that's part of it, but I'm tired of it. Last night my breasts hurt so much it was hard to sleep and I'm tired of wanting to cry all the time. I'm only 34 so I know it's not menopause or anything like that. Anyone have any ideas or experience? Thank you.

Hi there,


Are you on hormonal birth control at all?
