Interesting. Referred nerve pain from nipple twisting was the first thing I thought of when I read the original post, but dismissed the idea because this woman was not breastfeeding. I should have thought a little longer. This is a classic symptom seen in breastfeeding mothers whose infants twist or roll the nipple in their mouths or who clench their jaws and pull. The pain is felt deep in the breast or chest wall as a burning or stabbing sensation, not at the time of the actual nipple trauma, but later and at irregular intervals. With breastfeeding mothers the answer is to correct the positioning of the infant at the breast and eliminate the twisting and rolling of the nipple. Sounds like some alterations in this couple's sex play may be in order.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education.
