Can someone please offer some help/advice as I have no idea how common this is.
This morning I woke up quite engorged as Shae had slept right through again. My left breast is the better of the two and as usual I woke up in a puddle. so I stuffed my pj top with a flat nappy and waited for her to wake up. about half hour later we were feeding, no probs at all from the left side.
Afterwards I noticed I was still quite sore if I squeezed my left arm down by my side (making the muscles in my left boob hard ITMS) and it felt kind of like a big white head pimple.
So I felt and felt around with my fingers this way and that way but no lumps to be found I did some massage towards the nipple but nothing happened so I went and had a hot shower - still nothing. I have felt around bent over forwards, I have laid flat, still no lumps. I can find the sore spot easily enough and there does feel like pressure deep underneath the nipple but I simply cannot find a lump.
There is no reddness no nothing but this engorged/sore feeling despite it being floppy after a feed.
Have I just aggrivated the muscles by all my fiddling and made it worse? could there be a very small blockage that I cannot feel with my fingers? what am I missing? why is it soo sore?
I should mention I do not sleep with a bra on either and have not been wearing one under my feeding singlets so boobs have been all natural for a few days.
