I am diagnosed with RA since 7 or 8 months. I'm on MTX 20 weekly inmjections and plaquenil 400 daily. I feel a relative improvement (not totally pain free, flaring now and then) . I recently feel a jabbing short pain in my left breast, especially around and in the nipple's area.
Has any one experienced this? Is it the RA or the meds?

Have you had a recent mammogram?
Do you have lumps in them? Mine hurt sometimes on my breast, not nipple, when they do I feel lumps, but sometimes it's just my nipple (s ) but mine feels like someone's holding a match to them. I was told it was fibrocyctic breast disease. I maybe wrong but who knows. Hope you get to feeling better
