I had mastitis and then developed thrush. Either way, they're no fun. Good luck and feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-without-pain#post-388275 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 02:59:38 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 388275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Maybe I have both? Or thrush that lead to Mastitis...i've read that can happen.</p> <p>I haven't been massaging as much the last few days so either I developed some tender spots today or i already had them. I also have a small clogged duct (last time the red spot was an inch round, this one is a centimeter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-without-pain#post-388217 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 00:54:47 +0000 hilsy85 388217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thrush can be really tricky...sometimes you have white spots on your nipples. Pink/red shiny and somewhat dry nipples can also be a sign. But even if you don't have these signs you may still have it. As for the pain of the mastitis, I didn't have much pain in my breast, it was a little tender , but I had the classic red spot and flu like symptoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-without-pain#post-388198 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 00:24:07 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 388198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Did you have any visible signs of thrush? What was the pain of the mastitis like.</p> <p>I'm thinking I do have some pain, but definitely not a fever or flu... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-without-pain#post-387727 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:25:32 +0000 hilsy85 387727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm that sounds more like thrush than mastitis! I had mastitis last week and it felt like having the flu...fever, aches, chills, etc. thrush can cause itchy boob and the deep pain in your breast. Either way, if it is mastitis the meds should kick in pretty quickly. If it doesn't get better, I would ask about thrush. Good luck--I have had them both and they suck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-without-pain#post-387581 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:54:31 +0000 MamaCate 387581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes poor you! I was going to say maybe it is a clogged duct but not if youve had it so long. Hopefully your body will settle in soon. I had mastitis around 3 weeks postpartum and just felt super flu-like and icky but the antibiotics really helped and i never got it again. Hope the same is true for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-without-pain#post-387544 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:48:56 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 387544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw the on call OB today because I've been worried about flush. She seems to think it's more likely mastitis!</p> <p>Whatever it is, I feel like I've had it for a while, like 2 weeks. I haven't gone in because it's not super painful and I don't have a temp.</p> <p>My breasts are extremely itchy most of the time. My left breast is reddish/purple underneath (I know that sounds bad, but I'm also not used to it being this large or this full of milk...thought maybe that was it) and my right has a reddish area sometimes. </p> <p>I also get a deep pain/pins and needles feeling periodically which I thought was my milk letting down...</p> <p>It's so hard to know what normal when your entire body changes in a matter of weeks!</p> <p>Either way, i'm starting antibiotics and going back in tomorrow. She drew a circle on my boob around the reddish area. Hot. </p>
