Some do. Mine did.
Mostly cancerous breast lumps don't hurt, but this isn't a hard and fast rule; I delayed going to the doctor for several months, giving myself the excuse that I had heard that a cancerous breast lump wouldn't be painful, and mine was.
I will never know if my breast cancer would have been less advanced if I had got it checked out sooner - maybe things would have been the same, but I wish I hadn't taken the chance.
Most breast lumps aren't cancer, and most cancerous breast lumps don't hurt. ALL breast lumps should be investigated as soon as possible.

Breast pain is rarely a symptom of breast cancer.
Most likely, your painful breast lump is a benign cyst.
However...you cannot ignore a breast lump. Go to your doctor and have it checked out. S/he will probably send you for a mammogram and an ultrasound.
Good luck!

Breast cancer is usually hormone induced and takes many years to develop. That's why it is usually women over 50 who get it. It is probably your milk glands you are feeling and there may be a blockage in one of them. Like an internal pimple! Gentle massage several times each day will loosen blockages improve breast health and has even been said to reduce breast cancer incidence. Long term breastfeeding has been proven to reduce breast cancer risk by 40% as it lowers the estrogen levels.

They can hurt if they are near sensitive tissue, but the lumps themselves do not generally cause pain. If you are feeling tender spots in your breasts, then you may have swollen lymph nodes, especially if the spots are in your armpit.
That being said, if you have found lumps in your breast and have ANY doubts about them, go to a doctor NOW. Better to be safe than sorry.
Good luck!

My story is the same as lo-mcg's. And the moral of the story is, if there is/are a lump(s), whether or not they are painful, if they don't go away in 2 weeks, have the doctor look at them.
What I thought were smooth fluid filled cysts, my doctor immediately perceived as having an irregular border and hard lumps. A trained physician can tell a lot just by their experience.

I hope not, because hurt like hell and they are like 3 inches wide by 2 inches and the nurse got me an appointment for next week and her voice sounded panicky. But, because someone told me if they hurt they are just cysts so I put it off for like year....
