Hello, Elena.  I wonder if maybe this mother is suffering from Mammary
Constriction Syndrome?  I first heard about it at GOLD last year when Edith
Kernerman IBCLC did a presentation on it.  Her presentation outlined a
situation in which a client of hers was experiencing deep pain in her
breasts that was undiagnosed by other causes, and thought to be related to
the muscles surrounded the breasts, as well as perhaps poor posture and
position when breastfeeding.  
 
MCS is defined as "A still hypothetical and newly described set of symptoms
that address breast and nipple caused by the tightening of chest muscles
leadcing to a lack of blood flow to the breast and nipples.  May be treated
with Pectoral Muscle Massage."
