Back pain isn’t one of the hallmark symptoms of breast cancer. It’s more common to have symptoms like a lump in your breast, a change in the skin over your breast, or a change in your nipple.
Yet pain anywhere, including in your back, can be a sign of breast cancer that has spread. This is called metastatic breast cancer.
When cancer spreads, it can get into the bones and weaken them. Pain in the back could be a sign that a spinal bone has fractured or that the tumor is pressing on the spinal cord.
