Check your bra is the right fit too as an ill-fitting bra can sometimes cause breast pain.

think i could have an infection, i am utterly exhausted as well?
Can you get boob infections????

you can get boob infections usually when breast feeding though, the "hot" doesn't sound normal. You haven't got a V shape or it doesn't look red does it?

I would go to the drs anyway and ask about it.

I suffered with bad boob pain & taking Evening Primrose Oil capsules every day really helped. I take 1300 mg daily as the lower doses didn't really help. I went to the doctor first to rule out anything else & make sure it was ok for me to take Evening Primrose Oil & I definitely recommend you do the same. It took a couple of weeks for the tablets to work but my boob pain has all but disappeared now. Good luck, HTH.

I've always had sore boobs for about half the month and had a mamogram recently (nothing bad discovered). I had several fluid filled cysts in each boob 3 - 5 cms across each. Just ignore them they said but it's these that are sore. I now take evening primrose oil every day and have had a lot of improvement.
