Mastisis

I thought I escaped without getting the dreaded Mastisis, but this morning I was engorged and even after feeding and pumping am still sore.  I don't know if I feel run down...heck I've felt run down for the last 6 weeks...can you share your symptoms, etc?  I did make a doc appt for this afternoon but any insight/support would be appreciated. 

Unfortunately DD won't feed from my other breast, making this even more difficult.

    When I had mastisis I was running a fever, and therefore, felt miserable! Besides that, I had a slightly red spot on my breast. The doctor could tell by just looking at it for a a second that it was mastisis, although I couldn't tell. Good luck! Luckily, the antibiotics will help.

    Thank you!  Yes -- I think this is it.  I see a red spot, it is tender, and I am feeling progressively run down.  Can't wait for the anti's!!
