Both my boobs hurt 
I don't think I've had a plugged duct but I'm starting to wonder if something is going on. My breasts are hot and I have shooting pains sometimes. I looked up mastitis and it seems to come with a red rash which I don't have. I checked LOs mouth and it doesn't look white so I don't think it is thrush. I am tired and achey but aren't all new moms?
Thoughts?

This is probably not a huge help but I definitely felt like that, never got it checked out, and it just went away! I worried it was something too. I think I may have actually mentioned it, wondering about thrush, to my midwife and she just kinda brushed it off!

I just had Mastitis, and I never had a red rash. Just a sore breast and the feeling that I wanted to pass out and vomit simultaneously as I tried to feed my daughter. You could try dangle pumping/feeding and see if it helps.

My boobs get achy and I get shooting pains too - I asked my dr and she said it's normal.

If you get a fever, even a low grade one, I would call your OB; that could definitely be mastitis.

Some breast pain can be normal. You just want to watch for signs of infection or if you start not to feel well. Thrush would be more of a burning sensation, and some mamas get it and never pass it to their babies, and vice versa.

I found after I had breastfed for awhile, the letdown started to really effing hurt! It went on like that for a couple months, then stopped hurting.
