Linda, this may not be anything related to the mother you are helping with the breast pain problem, but check back in the archives for a post about fibromyalgia causing breast pain. Might have been Becky Krumwiede (sp?) who wrote it and it seems like it was either last fall or winter. I remember she wrote about a case with strange breast pain that was ultimately linked with fibromyalgia--but I can't remember what the pain was like. Just a thought (and not necessarily a complete one at that! ;-) )! Melissa Vickers, IBCLC [log in to unmask]
