Occasional shooting pain in one breast - what is it?? I don't know ..

[SamiH]

Hi

The last 24 hours I have had this shooting pain in my right breast - from the inside bottom towards the nipple - a couple of times an hour.

Does anyone know what this is and whether it is related to BF? I have bf my other kids and have not experienced anything like this. I also had mastitis for the first time when this bub was 10 days old and it is not that kind of sore. It's not sore when the shooting pain goes, it lasts a couple of seconds.

Thanks ladies. I am seeing my GP on Saturday anyway for all the girlie stuff but thought someone on here might know in the meantime.

I was about to start a thread for the EXACT same thing. It happens in my right breast but at the top not bottom! Only noticed it today...
Hopefully someone has an idea.

Does it happen when you get cold? I used to get vasospasms when DS was little - sharp pain when my boobs got cold or rubbed against my clothing. The nipple would turn white & there would be a short, sharp pain. Is it like that?

I get it sometimes too, usually when the breast is on the empty side. Nobobdy has been able to explain it to me! But it's not too much of a drama here

Not sure what it is but it happens to me all th time - yes probably when on the empty side more so

Ezz - oh so that's what it is when the nipple turns white - I always wondered what was up with that

I found it got worse when I was in the shower so not cold not sure about Sami though.

They always seem to be on the empty side these days hehe wonder what it is if so many people get it.. Strange!
