Is breast pain a sign of breast cancer? I only have pain in one breast on the side...I don't do breast checks because I am squimish...I just can't seem to touch myself there. I am 24 years old. It doesn't run in my family. I am overweight, and I have never smoked.

well at 24 you are old enough to know better than to let it go unchecked. Stop being squeamish you silly girl and see a doctor and get a mammogram. That is the only way to know if you have breast cancer or not....by the way, obesity does contribute to the possibility of breast cancer, so don't let it wait, if you have any sense at all that is.

go to a doctor, please. there is no set pain or symptom to cancer.

You have a mammography. Let your dr. do the exam, and teach you how to do them. Do it for yourself.

Pain in the breast is one sign and since you are overweight you need to get checked. You could be over reacting but its better to be safe than sorry. You also need to see a specialist so that they can teach you how to do self exams. And you don't have to smoke to get breast cancer. It could just be mastitis. But you wont know until you are checked, then you wont have to worry and wonder.
