I have had a horrible sudden burning pain once in awhile, especially in the night, that sometimes even wakes me up, in the very bottom part of my left breast. At first I thought it might be a pain in my intercostal (sp) muscles under my breast from using those muscles without stretching or something. But the pain has been happening more often lately and I finally felt around and found a small lump in my breast, that hurts to touch. It almost feels like mastitis, which I have had before from previous breastfeeding, but my daughter is now 15 months old, and I stopped breastfeeding her a year and 2 months ago. I am just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and what it might be. It is a shocking fast moving burning/stinging sensation that stops me in my tracks every time, and makes me afraid to move until it starts to go away. Right now its been constant for an hour at least, the burning pain, but not too bad. I'm very worried, and now have to work at the hospital for the next 3 days, and can't make it to my doctor to get it checked out. If anyone can tell me anything it would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much :)
