Burning/bruised boobs

in February 2014 Moms
I EP, the pumping itself doesn't really cause any pain unless I'm engorged (bloody visitors to the house keep throwing my pumping schedule off), but I notice I get a burning ache in my nipples about ten mins after I pump, which lasts about 15 mins. Anyone else getting this?

My boobs also feel bruised on the outer side and underneath....due to engorgement? Or over pumping? I have my 6 week check next week and will be mentioning both issues, just wondered if I was suffering alone, or there were others with the same pain issues

    I feel your pain and it sucks. I pump and have purple marks on my nipples and a new burning pain on my areolas. I think my issues are due to poor flange fit and will see a lactation consultant (again) tomorrow.

    I would suggest talking to an LC about it.

    My breast felt bruised and achy when I had mastitis (also had a fever). Hope you don't have that and hope you feel better.

    I'm not pumping but I feel this a little. Enough that I was concerned about mastitis but no fever. Mine is not constant... More like occasionally they feel sore/achey. I think it's still my supply establishing... I remember something similar last time and it went away as we became more established in our feeding schedule.

    I felt this when I was pumping. when I had mastitis, it was a different feeling though. the pain that I felt never seemed to go away and when I got the least bit cold, it intensified like CRAZY and wouldn't stop. I agree with @letoiledunord with the flange fit because if that's wrong, it can cause crazy discomfort. I hope you're feeling better soon!

    Thanks ladies....been a bit better today having actually managed to BF LO for the first time in 2 weeks, and kept on top of the pumping a bit better. Think repeated engorgement left the ladies feeling bruised.
    The burning hasn't been as bad either, though no idea why that's got better as thought my LO's unpracticed latch technique would have made that feel worse rather than better
