Advice pls - Nipple pain not getting any better

Thanks, Manta. Yes, I'm not gritting my teeth at the thought of feeding anymore! :)

Glad to hear it's clearing up MD :)

Sorry to take over the thread but I thought rather than create a new one perhaps I could just post here?
I get really sharp stabbing pains in my breast occasionally - not really in the nipple but the whole boob. It's not constant, only hurts when feeding sometimes but the stabbing is excruciating. Not red or irritated looking either. I know it's not thrush or mastitis; any suggestions (apart from seeing the doctor, as i have that planned already!)

AJ, how do you know it's not thrush? I have heard ppl saying the stabbing sensation is the single most telltale sign for thrush? (Just hearsay, though).

Well that's what i thought originally but it's only one side and ds doesn't appear to have it.
Ah well ill just wait until my appointment
