Mastitis after breastfeeding?

[LysnDan]

After reading some of the replies I panicked and asked for an appt at my gp. I got an appointment luckily and my Dr said that it was just mastalgia (breast pain caused by hormones!) And to keep on top of it with nurofen. If the blotchy red marks don't go away along with the tenderness, then I need to fill my script for antibiotics. I see my gp at the end of the week for another consult, so will ask again if I'm still concerned.

Nurofen is keeping the pain at bay so far. Its weird, I have never ever had pain like this (wasn't even this bad with mastitis while I was b/feeding!)

Thanks for asking

So glad it's nothing more sinister... Hope it clears p soon xo
