Breast pain Done mammogram birads 1 and breast pain is not going away so done with vitamin d and vitamin b12 so vitamin b12 is 240 and vitamin d is 5.5 so that's why breast pain?

Yes, your very low VitaminD level is a very likely cause of the persistent breast pain, and the reports you’ve shared are actually reassuring.
Your mammogram result being BIRADS 1 means the breasts are completely normal, with no lump, no cyst, and no signs of cancer. When breast imaging is normal and pain persists, the cause is usually non-structural and hormonal or nutritional. A Vitamin D level of 5.5 ng/mL is severely deficient, and such low levels are well known to cause breast pain, chest wall pain, muscle tenderness, and generalized body aches, especially in women. Vitamin D deficiency can make breast tissue and the surrounding muscles more sensitive, leading to ongoing pain even when scans are normal.
Your Vitamin B12 level of 240 pg/mL is borderline low, which may contribute to nerve sensitivity and discomfort, but it is not the primary cause. The main contributor here is the severe Vitamin D deficiency. This type of breast pain is called mastalgia due to nutritional deficiency, and it is benign and reversible.
Next Steps
With proper Vitamin D replacement, breast pain usually improves gradually over 4–8 weeks and no further breast investigations are needed at this stage unless new symptoms like a lump, nipple discharge, or skin changes appear.
Health Tips
Do consult any surgeon in case your pain, swelling or discomfort increases rapidly.
Good luck!

Since the mammogram is BI-RADS 1 (normal), breast cancer is ruled out. Breast pain (mastalgia) in such cases is usually benign and functional, commonly related to hormonal changes, fibrocystic breast changes, stress, or musculoskeletal causes.
Your vitamin D level (5.5 ng/mL) is severely deficient and can definitely contribute to breast pain, chest wall pain, and generalized body aches.
Vitamin B12 level of 240 pg/mL is in the low-normal range and may also contribute to nerve-related discomfort.
So yes — vitamin D deficiency is a likely cause of your breast pain, especially when imaging is normal.
Next Steps
• Continue high-dose vitamin D supplementation as prescribed.
• Add calcium supplementation if not already taking.
• Take vitamin B12 supplements for 6–8 weeks.
• Use a well-fitted supportive bra.
• Mild pain relief like paracetamol can be taken if needed.
• Review symptoms after 6–8 weeks of treatment.
Health Tips
• Avoid excessive caffeine and smoking.
• Do not frequently self-examine aggressively, as it can worsen pain.
• If pain becomes localized, persistent on one side, associated with a lump, nipple discharge, or skin changes, seek in-person evaluation.
