I got a call from a Mom today that kind of stumped me, and would
appreciate any insights or suggestions anyone can provide.  She has been
experiencing "breat pain" for about the last 2 weeks.  Her baby is 4
weeks old.  It occurs in both breasts, but not at the same time.  It
hurts for a second, then goes away, only to reccur a short time later in
a different place, and this goes on for an hour.  Some days it doesn't
happen at all, she says it's "random' regarding when it will occur.  She
describes it as a sharp pain.  Sometimes it's while nursing, other times
not.  She said she wasn't too bothered by it, but her husband was
worried about it, so she called.  The only thing I could come up with
was muscle pain, but this seemed like a stretch to me.  Any takers?
