Pain in Left Breast After 1 Year and Breastfeeding

December 8, 2010
Asked By:Great Lakes in Great Lakes, IL

A year ago, I had implants put in through my nipples and under the muscle. Little did I know, I was pregnant 3 days on the day of my surgery. I am able to breastfeed my 3 month old daughter, however 2 days ago, I started getting quick sharp pains in my left breast that last anywhere from 2-10 seconds long. I am not sure if it is my nerves or my milk ducts.
