I would check the client history (personal and family) for history of
arthritis (rheumatoid). There could be a flare up with the prolactin in the
early weeks of breastfeeding and pregnancy. Check the archives as well but
I think the info came from "The Breastfeeding Answer Book".
Hope that helps :)
