Hi all. I have noticed a pain in the bottom portion of my left breast that started today. It is not engorged or hot to touch.However, I do have a significant amount of
pain in that area especially when I bump it, try to lay down or touch it. Has anyone ever experienced this or have any experience with this? I do breastfeed. Thanks

    Just went through this. Lots of hot baths and hot compresses to clear it up. Took about a week to clear for me

    I agree, plugged duct. Massage it really hard while you pump/breastfeed and start nursing on that side as often as you can until it gets better. Also use hot compresses right before nursing. Something else that helped me was taking a super hot shower... While facing the water, I massaged the painful spot with one hand while hand expressing milk with the other hand. Massage hard! It's totally weird but helps. Look closely at your nipple for any sign of a blister, too. If you have a blister, soaking your nipple in warm water with Epsom salt several times a day can help. Check kellymom for more tips. Good luck... I have had a plugged duct a couple times and it's a PiTA. Stay on top of it and empty the breast regularly to avoid mastitis!
