My right breast started feeling sore, almost like it is bruised, yesterday. There is no lump, it is not hot to the touch, I have no fever and feel fine, so I don't think its mastitis or a clogged duct. It doesn't hurt when nursing, just when pressure is put on it, like I said similar to a bruise. Milk is still flowing fine. DS is 4 weeks old. Any one have any thoughts or anything similar?
If LO is 4 weeks old, I would assume your supply is still adjusting. This caused me to have major plugged ducts all the damn time. It was never a lump or red that early on, just sore like you described. I would set the shower to massage, throw a wash clog over my boob that was sore and stand under it as hot as I could take it. That usually helped.

Are you pumping yet?? I got frustrated during a pumping session and turned the suction up wayyyy to high and pumped way too long and my breast got very sore. I took a Motrin and it was better then next day.. But ouch!! Hope this helps
Not pumping yet, but did have that experience when pumping with my DD. This is a similar pain. It hasn't gotten better or worse throughout the day. Who knows.
