QuoteReplyTopic: painful letdown Posted: 05 October 2009 at 8:05pm
The last few days when I get a letdown while b/f I get a really sharp pain in my back. In the past I've sometimes had back pain but nothing as sore as this. When I express (which I do daily) I dont get the pain. Should I be worried?
I *think* thrush can cause that??? I think I read that somewhere! Although not sure if it would be specifically during let-down...hmmm maybe ring your local LLL?
Does it ease off once he is feeding????? From what I have heard thrush is painful at latch then after feed has finished. When I had it I would get the pain after expressing.
My Dr said MWs diagnose thrush all the time when it probably isn't.
Do both breasts hurt at the same time?
My let down is sometimes painful, and every now and then I get an 'odd' pain throughout my chest, but on one side only.
I've been tested for thrush and didn't have it.
Got better after 8 wks, but you're well past that.
Any chance that it's posture while feeding?
