You can try to pop that or open it up if needed. You can also massage with warm compressess to work it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diagnose-my-shooting-pain-please-#post-1039955 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:20:29 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1039955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you don't have a fever or pain I would think its not mastitis but I never had that. </p> <p>Shooting pains like shards of glass particularly after nursing was my sign of thrush. That and some itchiness. </p> <p>If your baby has thrush, the inside cheeks will be coated in white (more then the normal milk white). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diagnose-my-shooting-pain-please-#post-1039924 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:16:00 +0000 sea_bass 1039924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emg86: I'm sorry, what would those signs be?
