    Breast Abscess

    So, about a week ago, I was laying on my side in bed watching TV with the little ones. DD2 stood up and trod on my breast. It hurt like hell.
    Since then it has been sore and DD3 hasn't been feeding from it very long. I have been feeling really tired and run down lately but put it down to AF. Friday afternoon I was in pain on my right breast and had a big, hot, red spot and a noticeably risen lump. I immediately hopped in the shower, started massage etc, everything that has worked for me in the past. Last night however I noticed that there was pus coming out of my nipple. Now I am freaking out. I am off to the Dr today and dreading the thought of it having to be drained. Thanks to my massage & expressing, the lump has gone from walnut sized down to thumbnail size. I'm hoping it might be fixed with a course of anti biotics.
    Has anyone been through this before?
