ORIGINAL: MzMinx I used to suffer something similar for many years For many woman fluid can be trapped in the lymph glands or milk ducts and can cause a lot of swelling and pain ... its quite a common occurance due to changes in hormones .... massage can be very very usefull in helping gently drain the fluid out ... especially if you do it before it builds up each month ..for me I did it several times over the couple of days b efopre my period .. and during .... I didnt have a chance to check but if you google lymph drainage or lymph massage ... you mind find sugestions and diagrams on how best to do it ... I was trained by a very good massage therapist You can do it to yourself although its quite lovely to have someone else do it for you .... basicaly you use all the fingers/palm of your hands and either with oils, corn starch (corn starch is great but it does make a mess ) or whilst in the shower ... in gentle but even (a level of firmness is required but not rough ) strokes .... from the center wall between your breasts follow the curve on top and then on the bottom to the center under your arm... so its not directly across your breast but following the natural curves above and below and you are not pressing into your chest... but more into the breast flesh .... then down the side of your ribs .... so you are helping to manual stimulate the drainage of fluids using the lymph pathways I prefer laying down whilst its being done .... and a good walk after wards really helps as it stimulates the lymph system to get rid of the extra fluids hope you find a solution that suits you All right, I'm going to school for massage therapy right now, and that is NOT part of the curriculum!!!
