Breast pain - it could be arthritis

According to a recent report, breast pain affects as many as 7 in 10 women at some point in their lives - being most common in premenopausal women.

And of course, pain generates fear. Breast cancer becomes foremost in a woman's mind. The fact is, pain rarely signifies breast cancer. Often it is the result of arthritis that has developed in the intercoastal spaces, and the pain simply radiates into the breast.

Of course worried women should have an exam and tests necessary to rule out cancer, but in the meantime, discomfort may be relieved with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory over-the-counter drugs, evening primrose, vitamin E, or hot and cold compresses.

Fear and panic could be the very things that weaken your system and allow disease to take a foothold, and according to the Law of Attraction, continual thoughts of disease can bring it to you. So if you're worried, have the tests, set your mind at ease, and banish those thoughts!
