Armpit pain & breastfeeding

Hello

Am heading to docs on Monday about this but wondered if anyone had the same thing...I'm 9 weeks postpartum and Ebf, at the start when I fed from left breast I felt a tugging sensation in my left armpit not painful just weird... anyway that went after a few weeks and now I have a dull ache on and off in the same place in my armpit?? No swelling or lumps or anything but I'm freaked out! Has anyone had this?

Thanks in advance Smile

I think that normal breast tissue does extend into the armpit. Could it be engorgement or a blocked duct?

I thought maybe a blocked duct.

It's always best to get it checked though so it's good you have an appointment.
