I have a mother who is about 1 month post-partum.  All was well until
about 1 week ago excluding minor L breast pain.  About 1 week ago she
developed excruciating L breast pain primarily begining after nursing
and continuing for some time.  The pain radiates to her back and arm.
This is requiring Vicodin to control. She did have some erythema of the
nipple and the infant had a diaper rash so they have both begun Nystatin
and she has also used oral Diflucan x 5 days due to the severity of her
symptoms.  She states the pain is little improved thus far...What I
think is interesting is that the pain doesn't start until she finishes
nursing - on either breast. Infant is positioned properly and latches
well.  Any ideas? TIA     Pamela Berens
