but only on one side....

What the hell is going on?!
My right breast, is sore with hard patches and has started leaking a bit of milk again.

Any ideas?

sounds like you might have a blocked duct. Any red patches? You might have to express off for a few days to disperse the blockage.

Thanks Lyra41, I can't see any red patches, but my breast feels lumpy and sore underneath and round the side towards my armpit. I don't understand it though as my breasts had almost returned to normal.
I have expressed gently in the shower to ease the pain (and ensure I don't leak at an inconvenient moment)
