Hi All,
Am wondering whether anyone has come across anything like this before.

Am working with a post c-section mom, baby seven days old, who has been 
experiencing localized pain under the shoulder blade on the side she nurses on. 
It is a very specific spot halfway beween her spine and side. It does not 
radiate into her breast, nor does it originate in her breast, rather it feels like 
something is poking out of her back when she nurses. She only experiences 
the pain on the side she is nursing on. If she double pumps then she feels the 
pain on both sides. I am absolutely stumped. Applying warmth seemed to help 
a little. Position change did nothing to alleviate the pain. I don't even know if 
she is experiencing the situation as increasingly painful because it is getting 
worse or because she has weaned off her c-section medications and therefore 
is feeling more.

What is this???
