I always think I'm dying after it. Has it hurt at all - even maybe a few days ago? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-plugged-ducts-always-hurt#post-949163 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 22:21:10 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 949163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any that I've gotten haven't been very painful. Mostly I notice a lump or my breast is sore and then I notice the lump. But they do go away quickly for me. It can't hurt to see the doctor, but definitely stay away from Google! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-plugged-ducts-always-hurt#post-949014 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 20:26:23 +0000 tequiero21 949014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine have hurt like a LOT! Good luck at your appointment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-plugged-ducts-always-hurt#post-948773 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 17:42:07 +0000 Smurfette 948773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I have gotten them, they hurt when I touched them. Then got worse from massaging. But they will take days to go away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-plugged-ducts-always-hurt#post-948694 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 17:04:14 +0000 Pepper 948694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an appointment on Monday to get it looked at. Still hasn't gone away. I'm pretty stressed out about it... I need to stay off Google. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-plugged-ducts-always-hurt#post-940298 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 22:31:29 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 940298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's sticks around its probably more likely a cyst. I had one and had it checked out and it's fine (but still there). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-plugged-ducts-always-hurt#post-940243 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 21:48:02 +0000 MusicaV 940243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had some stick around for around a day or so. I massaged them before and after nursing, and in the shower. My lumps are almost always just lumpy, not painful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-plugged-ducts-always-hurt#post-940221 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 21:36:09 +0000 mamimami 940221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always caught them early and depending on that they may not hurt. I suggest some major massaging in a hot shower. It takes a little detective work but hopefully you'll get that satisfying eureka moment!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-plugged-ducts-always-hurt#post-940174 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 21:20:15 +0000 MamaMoose 940174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They can definitely stick around after nursing. Mine usually get a little achy but not terribly painful. Try to take a hot shower with breast compression. Or pump with a heating pad on the area. That might help you work it out. If not, definitely have your OB take a look. But I wouldn't worry at this point. Sounds like a clogged duct to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-plugged-ducts-always-hurt#post-940160 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 21:13:12 +0000 Pepper 940160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a small lump in my left breast that I noticed today. I may have noticed it earlier, but I probably assumed it was a plugged duct or engorgement. It doesn't hurt and so far it hasn't gone away with nursing. I'm going to make an appointment to get it looked at, but I'm wondering what the odds are that it's a plugged duct or something related to breastfeeding. </p> <p>Do plugged ducts always hurt? Can they stick around even after you've nursed/pumped? I'm worrying that it's something more serious, which is why I'm going to make an OB appointment :( </p>
