Hi ladies,
Just wondering if any of you have had to get chest xrays while nursing?
I have been coughing due to a lingering cold, and I have a really bad pain on the right side of my ribcage in one spot. A similar thing happened while I was pregnant (ds is now almost 8 months old) and my OB said viruses can cause costochondritis which I may have gotten after a cold while I was pregnant. I thought maybe the baby was pressing on a nerve, but the pain did go away after a long time.
Unfortunately, it has come back in the same spot, a very focal right sided rib pain. I want to go have it checked out because the pain can be really severe and I want to make sure this is nothing to work about. I think I may need xrays, but since I am breastfeeding I am slightly concerned that the procedure could have a negative effect on my milk.
Anyone ever have xrays taken while nursing, and if so were there any recommendations made regarding nursing or risks to a breastfeeding baby?
Thanks for your input
