Clogged duct? Pain

swizzle458

I worked an 8 hr shifts two days in a row. I pumped twice each shift, yet still felt like I wasn't completely empty. Normal I just bf at home and only pump a few times a week. Since working and pumping this weekend, My left breast has a very tender spot. It hurts when I touch it or push on it. It hurts if I jump up and down when working out. I think it started as a clogged duct from pumping. I had a hard spot and massaged it in a hot shower and I think baby sucked it out when he emptied my breast. Now it is still painful and very tender. Any thoughts? It almost feels bruised or something. Advice? TIA

It sounds like it's still there if it's tender. I would use a heating pad before the next nursing session and do breast massage and compressions while little one is nursing. I've also nursed while kneeling directly over baby, which finally cleared mine.

You mentioned exercise. Is your sports bra really tight? Without fail, every time I wear my ultra supportive and compressing sports bra, I get a clogged duct. Just a thought.

Thanks for the responses. I'll keep up with the heat and massage.
