underside of breast hurts like a bruise?
it's on the underside of the left breast (if the side matters). it only hurts when touched (found out when i was showering this morning) or when boobies move (when i'm running up and down the stairs).
i'm sure it's not a clogged duct. i have one chronic clogged duct on my right breast, so i know what that feels like. it didn't get hit or anything so i doubt it's a bruise; just feels like one. i felt the "bruise" earlier without touching it when the breast was quite full. but baby has just emptied it now and the pain is still there when it's touched.
any ideas on what it could be? [i can't see my doc until three days from now :-( bec it's a national holiday tomorrow in my country & am conducting a two day workshop after that ]

I had this too when I breastfeed. Its just a build up in the breast I think. Unless its causing you real concern I wouldn't worry too much until you see your doctor. In the meantime, have you tried a hot bath to alleviate any discomfort. If you're wearing underwire bras, maybe switch to something a little softer until it eases. Good luck :-)

I have experienced similar.
It became so painful, that I couldn't even pick up my baby.
My breast was reddy blue.
If it is hurting tomorrow I would see the doctor, no matter what I had planned.
Try wrapping a cabbage around the sore breast and leave it for 30 minutes. If it does any good repeat. It helped me a lot.
Good Luck and I hope you get to enjoy your Baby and workshop.
