Nikki said, of a mom of hers: <<I suggested she plop the sick breast into a warm water bath and massage it, keep nursing on that side, and also call a breast surgeon. I suspect there may be some more mechanical blocks inside the breast. I referred her to a breast surgeon, because I can't see inside the breast and want to rule out an abscess. Possibly some residual neuralgia after the duct injury from the plugs/bleb?>> Interesting! Nikki, did you find out what the surgeon said? Is there anything we can do for that residual neuralgia? That resonates with me.... now, what can we do?
