Pain is not a typical symptom. Mostly cancerous lesions will be painless. Since you have for one year, you should definitely evaluate. Ultrasound plus mammogram of bilateral breast may be done. It does not increase radiation risk beyond the BENEFIT we get by detecting cancers early.
Next Steps
Sonomammogram and consult surgeon or oncologist
