Nipple tenderness not breast tenderness due to period...?

Question:

Serious answers only or I WILL REPORT you as this IS a serious question.
For the last several weeks, my left nipple has been like in the arousal stage, but very painful. HARD and almost twice the size of my right one. My breast itself is not tender, my right side is just fine. It hurts like hell if something even brushes against it. PG test came back neg. This is not due to my period as it's been ongoing since a week before my last one a month ago. I've looked under many medical categories on-line with no luck. I have no health insurance yet, so can't see a Doc. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance to those with nice replies!!

Answers:
i honestly am not sure if its that painful you really need to get it checked. i no that caffeine can cause it at times and estrogen in birth control pills. but this sounds different and the concern is how painful it is for you. some places they have clinics with doctors that take you by your income. call your local social services and ask if this is available where you live. hope you get well soon and its not anything serious.

Nipple problems can include tenderness or discharge from the nipple portion of the breast.

"Call for an appointment with your health care provider if nipple problems occur.." I STRONGLY agree with this.
Sweetie,everything that I've been reading since I read your question suggests you should see your doctor. If you do nor have insurance,you STILL do NOT want to take chances. Once when I was in a crunch for money,I cut back on luxuries....because the health of my little dog meant the world to me. I would do the same for myself. PLEASE see a doctor and have this problem stop. God bless you.

Have you been without a bra? I know I had this on/off for a while, I thought it may have been pregnancy but it wasn't. I realized it was because of me going bra-less and having my breasts rub on the inside of the t-shirt. You really don't think it's doing anything since you don't really feel much but they end up feeling sore...strange but true.
