I think that it is down as one of the side effects? It should settle after time. Not sure how you can alleviate the pain in the meantime though. Someone else may have more advice.

Evening Primrose capsules?  Hot foot to a local Pharmacist for advice?

Burchers  - when you say Estriol cream  - is this local oestrogen for vaginal atrophy or are you starting full systemic HRT?
Where are you in your meno journey? Are you still peri meno?  It would be unusual to get sore breasts with local oestrogen as so little is absorbed systemically but it would be quite normal if using Oestrogel as full HRT (in the early stages of use) as the body will take time to adjust to the hormones.
Do tell us what you have been prescribed and the dosage and what symptoms you are trying to help? DG x
