serious question

So on and off for the last few months if I'm not careful about the way I move or if my breast get squeezed the wrong way my right nipple feels like is being pinched and twisted by an angry little crab (sorry that's the best way I can explain it) the only way I can get the pain to go away is to gently rub my nipple until the pain stops, which winds up being really embarrassing because I'm always around people and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy. I asked my gynecologist about it and she referred me to a breast surgeon. Now I'm nervous because Breast surgeon sounds serious.
