Of course I will call my doctor about this in the morning but I wanted your expert opinions in the meantime. Does this sound like mastitis?
sore area on breast
red area on breast (not the same spot as the sore area)
muscle aches, chills, general malaise
no fever
I've been weaning from pumping but am still nursing as often as I can. Haven't had too many clogged ducts but have definitely been overly full. Am wondering if I've cut back on pumping too quickly.
And I just got over yet another thrush episode last week. sheesh.

I have had it twice and each time was a little different but I would say it sounds like it! One relieft i found before my meds kicked in was hot shower!

i felt just like that and knew it was mastitis.... i called the doc and he called in an Rx right away - right when DH got home with the Rx the fever started --- it can hit fast and hard - i'd call the doc tonight if you have a 24 hour pharmacy nearby... you'll want to start meds ASAP.
that sucks. Hope you feel better soon!
