I am on day 2 of antibiotics for mastitis, its been pretty severe as it was left for several days as the dr didn't actually think it was mastitis. In that time a big mass has formed in the left side which i just can't massage out and it won't move when either boy feeds from it. Whereas the right side today feels almost back to normal, still a bit lumpy but hardly any pain. The left side, the mass is about the size of a 1/4 of an apple and feels like that, an odd shape, its all red there too. My flu-like symptoms have eased off though i still feel very weak and not too well. The LC thinks it could be an abscess... has anyone had one? what was it like? Theres not much i can do now coming up to the weekend but go back to the dr on monday.

How long did it take for your lumpiness to resolve it self? does it usually do so just from feeding and massage?
