I wrote a few weeks ago about a woman who felt the breast she was no longer
nursing on was getting bigger.  Here's the outcome:

Everything checked out fine.  She realized, the more she analyzed it, that
her breasts didn't *look* different, but that she had investigated more than
usual.  On further investigation she found structures that, by golly, were
on the lactating side as well but more buried.  Further, the lactating side
is really floppy compared to the involuted one (at least after nursing), and
she thinks it was that difference in floppiness that she interpreted as
growth.  Also, she's been jogging in a nursing bra, hooking it tighter than
usual to do so, which was causing it to pinch on the underside of the one
breast.

She's relieved and grateful for a forum that could give informed thoughts on
what might be going on.
