Sharp pain in one breast, any ideas on what it is?

I have a sharp pain in one breast.  The other is fine.  It is most notable when I touch the top of it.  Nursing is still fine as far as I can tell on it.  No other issues or symptoms.  I pumped it this morning and its still an issue.  Any ideas on what to do or what I might look out for to be causing it?

    Any redness or hardness?

    Nope.  Just the sharp pain.

    That sounds like a plugged duct to me.

    Apply Heat, massage, REST REST REST, drink lots of fluids and treat yourself as if you had the flu, continue nursing.

     

    I hope you feel better soon if that's what it is.

    Could be a plugged duct like the pp said. Try pumping or nursing right after a hot shower. That can help.

    I had this on & off for the first few weeks of BFing & could never figure it out. I finally bought some more supportive bras & it went away. My bewbs went up 5 cup sizes between pregnancy & nursing, so I'm sure i had some sore, stretched ligaments. 

    Oh, & how are you feeling otherwise btw?
