So I got back into it and now even when I do almost no pressure (like hard to even keep the cups on low) my breast is turning purple and going cold. I've done barely any time or pressure because of this issue. It's not my skin as my skin is completely use to it, my circulation is actually getting cut off. It stays cold for a few hours afterwards and purple for a little while after too. Today my hands and feet are now going cold too while pumping. I don't know what to do. Am I never able to pump again? I was fine when I was pumping before. This didn't happen until after my five day break. I'm not overpumping as I can barely keep the cups on and it barely even registers on the gauge and I'm doing almost no time because the issue is so bad. Do I have tissue damage from before that didn't decide to show up until after my break? I feel so discouraged. I've tried extended periods of heat and massage and everything trying to fix it and nothing works. I don't know what to do. I know the forum is pretty dead now but if anyone has been in this position please give me advice. I don't know if this means there is tissue damage from before the break. If it is tissue damage does that mean I can never pump again or does that mean I need to take an extended break (like a month or something?) and it will heal? I feel so defeated and I have no idea what I should do to remedy this problem. I will be heartbroken if I can never pump again because this is the only thing that has been working for me.
EDIT: My hands and feet feeling like ice boxes makes me wonder if it's not something else. I feel a bit off too and lightheaded and weak. I feel like if it was noogling it wouldn't make my hands and feet do that as well or cause other symptoms. So it's entirely possible it's related to something else that is effecting my circulation all of a sudden but it's just effecting noogling as well. Not sure why it's starting all of a sudden, but I'll wait and see. Either way looks like I'm forced into another break. There's no point right now as i'm obviously making it worse. I'm crossing my fingers whatever is messing up my circulation is fixed soon and that it's not tissue damage after all so I can go back to noogling at some point in the near future. I'm going to wait until my other symptoms go away to try again and see what happens.
