Pat, Just re-read Maureen Minchin's April post referred to by Michele http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind0204A&L=lactnet&P=R8506 and when I read your post, it seemed logical to me that chronically overdistended ducts might very well contribute to inflammation of the nerve paths and cause referred pain. Though I know what I myself use as my own "standard protocols" for reducing oversupply, will you be more specific about: <I use the standard protocol for reducing oversupply of breastmilk.> and references for same? Ain't Lactnet GREAT! Jean ********* K.
