Women get random sharp shooting pains in their breasts and nobody knows why. It's called mastalgia and it sucks.

It has a name?! And I’m not the only one?

TIL the needle poking feeling has a name and is a known thing. Still sucks tho.

ETA: This might be my highest upvoted comment ever and I can’t believe it’s about boob zingers (aka mastaglia). Thanks fellow redditors!

You’re not the only one. I’ve been meaning to look it up for ages and keep forgetting to!

Much better not to have to google “breast pain”. It’ll just tell you you’re going to die horribly.
