Ok, so my daughter and I both got the stomach bug that is going around and have been haveing vomiting and diaria since monday night.  Yesterday I noticed my left breast being tender, but thought that is was because I have been wearing the night time nurseing bra all day and that doesnt offer much support.  So tonight when I was going to nurse her before bed I noticed a red little puffy line going from my nipple outward.  there is only one and when you press on the nipple it is sore.  I am not sure if it is mastitius, or blocked duct, or because she is nurseing a little longer that normal.  Any thoughts on this?

Call your doctor.  The red line doesn't sound good.

have you ever heard about anyone having this?

I don't want to scare you.  So please take this with a grain of salt, since I can't see what you're talking about.  But the only time I've ever heard of a red line is when there is some kind of infection in the blood vessel.

Michelle, I had mastitis & it was pretty bad... you should definitely call your doc & get checked out. The reason I knew it was mastitis was not just the pain & redness on my breast, but also because I had terrible fever & chills. Do you have any other symptoms? Feel better!

I dont have a fever and this morning after I applied hot rag last night and this morning and the line was gone, but it is still a little tender.  I am going to call the doc this morning.

Maybe you just had a clogged duct, but I would still call your doctor. I had mastitis and my whole right breast was bright red, and I had a fever of almost 104, was achy, and had chills. I really hope that isn't what is wrong in your case. Good luck!

Thanks guys.  I did go to the doc. and am on antibiotics now.  It seems to be on thing afer another these days.

That's the way of it once we get kids... one thing after another.  Hope you're feeling better.

yes, much better thank you
