Definitely NOT pregnant. My right breast feels swollen and painful like milk is coming in or I’m pregnant, but I weaned 5 months ago.
Anyone BTDT? Would you follow up with GP or OBGYN? |

| This happened to me. I had mammo to be sure but nothing. Never figured it out but it took months to fully go away. |

| Follow up with OBGYN. Also, you’re sure You aren’t pregnant again? |

| Get the sore breast hot in the shower and then see if you need to hand express any milk. This happened to be a couple of times after weaning. I could squeeze my breasts in the shower and milk would come out almost 2 years after weaning. It's not uncommon. |

OP here. I have an appointment this afternoon. The pain in my breast was bad enough I had trouble sleeping last night. I was able to hand express milk out of both breasts in my morning shower. The breast in question was always my "lazy breast" with milk production.

| They probably just got confused but might be good to run it by an OB anyway. |

| OP here. OB did not feel any lumps and did not think it would be mastitis at this point. She reassured me inflammatory breast cancer would be extremely rare. I have an ultrasound next week and we'll go from there. Fingers crossed. |
