Avatar n tn I am a 30yr old female who has not had a baseline mamogram yet but have been experiencing real sharp pain in my left breast today. Upon that I did a self breast exam and feel a hardened mass at the top of my breast. What could this mean? I have also been experiencing headaches for the last week and have been extremly tired the last week as well.
Avatar m tn I have been getting pains under my ribs and it has been going through 2 my back a couple of times now sometimes I get out of breath because of it. not sure how far on I am yet got the midwife on Tuesday .
Avatar f tn Have you ever felt a stabbing pain on your breast that last like 2 seconds but it actually feels like someone is stabbing you on the side under your breast????? I had experienced that and my 14 year old have felt it as well. I heard that it happens because one of your cyst is exploding!!!!OMG!!! Am I going crazy?
Avatar f tn I have a pain by my right breast, feels like heart attack but on the wrong side. Its a sharp stabbing pain. I have had it for 2 days now and it isn't getting any better. I think Indigestion but getting concerned now. It is behind the right breast but my breast isn't hurting at all.
8778737 tn?1413827423 Breast feeding can be so painful when we start out, I breast fed my son exclusively for until he grew out of it... The pain wont last forever and it is well worth it. Hang in there <3 There are nice gel nipple pads that I loved but they are expensive from the mercy mall, also la leches league sells similar pads along with lanolin (like vasaline) to help with pain.
Avatar n tn Had a baby 10 months ago not breastfeeding. Got my period a week ago. had the pain before and after. No history of Breast CAncer in my family.
Avatar f tn ) Oh the pain of breastfeeding is different than the pain during pregnancy. And I'd recommend a warm compress for now and any moisturizer should help with the itching hopefully.
Avatar f tn They sell this jell I cant remember whats its called but it sort of helps out. It is very painful I remember the pain when I first breast fed! It was horrible and I wasnt producing enough milk so I would breast feed her on both sides yhen give her 2 oz on formula. It gets better its not always painful Im sorry you're going through the pain. Go to the store and look at all the baby area for that cream.
1024058 tn?1251941633 first of all,you should know the left breast stabbing pain can happen in term of mastitis and the heart attack diease.if you are the female ,and you left breast swoln that is may be a mastitis if your left breast have not swoln,that is the question of cardiac diease .now you can make a examination for yourself,use your hand touch you left breast if you feel painful that imply is the diease of the breast .
Avatar f tn I have been being treated for a rotator cuff tear. Stabbing pain, unable to sleep on that side, when I raise my arm my breast hurts also. I funally went for a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound where they found a large solid spiculated mass in my breast. This was last Friday. Saturday the dr called to apologize and blurted out that is was most likely malignant cancer due to size, shape and my description of the pain going into my arm.
Avatar f tn They have some nipple numbing cream... it is very hard the first few days to breast feed... take warm rags and sit them.on your breast... that helped me.
Avatar f tn I never had any pain with my first. My second is 6 weeks old and I haven't had any pain this time either. So it won't definitely be painful, but it can be. My sister in law had a lot of pain breastfeeding. It is better for you and the baby. You'll pass on immunities and it can help with hormones and losing weight. It's also much cheaper and more of a bonding. HOWEVER, formula is also healthy and you can certainly still bond with your baby if you use a bottle.
Avatar f tn Hi guys for about 3 weeks i have had a stabbing pain in my right breast. M breast is really painfull ive had to stop wearing a bra. The stabbing paing pain is not constant but when i get it it is really painful. I am currently 23 weeks pregnant ive contacted my midwife and she seems to think its ot pregnancy related. Ive also checked myself for any lumps and havent found any, but i am really worried as it could be something which may affect the life of my unborn child.
Avatar f tn She cant latch on to the left right with out causing me sever pain. So is it ok to only use one breast as soon as my nipple heals I plan on pumping that side. An when she gets bigger she wont have such a problem ot bcus her mouth is super tiny.
Avatar f tn What I did to prepare my breast for breastfeeding was squeezing the nipple and playing with my breast. I also bought this cream that u apply onto the breast it's made for breastfeeding it helps heal your nipple you can use it during pregnancy as well. I know this one may be kinda weird but I asked my bf to suck on my nipple and I would already start to use the breast pump I know you won't get anything out of it but it helps prepare for the sensation and pain.
Avatar f tn I'm a 22 yr old female. 3 months ago I woke up with a horrible pain in my chest and a stabbing pain in my left ribs under my breast. I went to the dr. and she said it was costochondritis and gave me naproxen. A couple weeks went by and the pain lessened but wouldn't go away. I went back and a different dr said the same but gave me steroids and a sample of nexium. The stabbing pain in my ribs went away with the nexium and eventually the rest of the pain went away.
Avatar f tn I plan to breast feed. I've heard to give it a month and the pain will go away, but to stick with it.
1092854 tn?1292620351 I have had prbs with my breast before like infections that lead to 2 surgeries and it lanced 3 times. now this is my other breast and its a burning pain in the nipple that sometimes shoots throughout the lower part of the breast. I have just noticed a dime size red spot just to the right of the nipple and its feeling warm to the touch. the pain is much worse when the nipple gets hard (cold). Im not sure if I just some how irritated it or if I should be seen???
Avatar f tn No. You have to do what's best for you and baby. Breastfeeding isn't for everyone. I only breastfed for 5 weeks and I just didn't like it so I stopped. Of course I felt guilty about it and felt like a bad parent but it's what worked for us and my boy is healthy.
Avatar f tn Lumps during breastfeeding may be caused by blockage of ducts which carry the milk from deep in the breast to the nipple openings. Milk that builds up behind the blockage causes the lumps and makes the breast sore. Warm compress may help provide relief. Gently massage the lump toward the nipple during and after feeding and cold packs after a feed may help relieve pain and inflammation.
