I have to admit, that your post has been the only one that I've read that exactly described what I am going through right now. The only reason that I have not gone to the doctor is for the fact that I don't have health insurance at the moment because I'm self-employed. Yet, up to this point, I haven't found any answers as to why I'm feeling such annoying sensations in my left breast. I have no "severe" pain and I have no lumps or inflammation whatsoever so I know that it's not cancer. So far its been nothing short of being down right ANNOYING!!! I don't know how old this post is, but if you've been diagnosed yet or whatever, please let me know your progress. I'm definitely interested in hearing what your doctor is saying! Thank you!!

Or is it possible to have neuropathy of the breast? One breast?
My issue is: right breast, 1.5-2 months, burning, tingling, extreme sensitivity to fabric (clothing, bed sheets), and occasional sharp shooting pains. A sense of swelling or perhaps inflammation? There is no blistering or other mark. No discharge.
On Sat night the pain was intolerable, I took 3 Advil, two Darvocet (4 hours apart) and applied a Lidoderm patch directly to my breast (I googled to determine if the Lidoderm was a bad idea, but got no hits so just ... went with it). About 3 AM, exhausted, I finally fell asleep.
I googled and found that it is possible to have shingles without blistering and to have blistering without shingles pain.
Without the fluid from the blisters, I don't know how such a dx can be made?
Is it possible to have neuropathy in the breast? Has anyone ever heard of this or experienced it?
I was told simply that: breast pain is very common, follow-up with your GYN.
Any thoughts or comments appreciated, including if you need to laugh at me for even thinking either of these 2 diagnoses are possible, I can take it. 
But ... I'm on my own here with a clear sonogram and a "you'll just have to learn to live with it" comment.
