Hey Missy, I had severe mastitis after having my son and yes the feeling in the breasts was quite similar after my BA. However, I’m currently on day 3 and wow, the difference is unbelievable. Soooo much better. Don’t worry, the pain can be similar, the unbearable filling of the breasts,however, the temperature and everything that came with the mastitis was not there, just the feeling in the breasts. The stabbing pain wasn’t as bad as with the mastitis either. Not sure what capsular contraction is but I hope I’ve helped put your mind at rest even a little Hun xxx
