I didn't get to the dr yesterday. Unfortunately. I wish I had. Went today though. Actually managed to have a shower and be reasonably presentable, and feel like leaving the house. Turns out I do have mastitis, hence the super temperature. Unfortunately its in the bb with the really badly grazed nipple, making regular feeding very painful. Have antibiotics, and been told to take panadol *and* nurofen. The nurofen surprised me as I wasn't aware it could be taken during bf, however the second dr I saw assured me it was okay. So I have to make sure it doesn't get worse over the next two to three days, but still go to the local gp for a check anyway.
HotI; the second dr actually said I should continue feeding from that sore side, as well as express as often as possible.
I do feel a little better today, if I could get rid of this headache would be even better. Had a physio appointment today, and it was torturous! I have two new, very tender points at the base of my neck, just in my shoulders, and the physio was pressing quite hard on these points.... And the pain that shot up my neck into my head! OMG! Agony! Owwww...... Guess its a good distraction from the mastitis!
