Hi Katie,
From the Mayo Clinic site—
Mastitis is an inflammation of breast tissue that sometimes involves an infection. The inflammation results in breast pain, swelling, warmth and redness. You might also have fever and chills. Mastitis most commonly affects women who are breast-feeding (lactation mastitis)
Even though it is common for women that are breast feeding it does not rule out other cases.
Why did I title the post Mastitis? ? Because I have not had a Dr opinion and I'm hoping that it isn't something more serious.
