    Mastitis can spread into your lymph nodes in your armpit I'm not sure if it would spread further as I don't know where other lymph nodes are.  I would definitely go in ASAP because if it's mastitis that bad it can be hard to get rid of.  Are you also very tired or having flu-like symptoms such as chills and headache?

    Not to unsound any alarms but during the first month I had *very dull but annoying pains like this when I nursed. It did feel like a pulled muscle but obviously was super uncomfortable everytime I nursed. Good luck.
