I’ll be working outdoors in the cold several more nights this week. My pain tolerance is high according to doctors (I've been told off for under-reporting), but this is acute and really bad even by my standards. I’m still sore today, and from experience it'll last until tomorrow or the next day. I was still awake for a couple of hours after that kicked in because of the soreness, and every time I rolled over I wanted to cry out from pain. Even after a hot shower when I got home and spending the rest of the night with a heat pack pressed to my chest, I was hurting so much that I couldn’t sleep without taking Tramadol. It didn’t stop after getting inside where it was warm. But by the I got to the grocery store (which would’ve been 70 degrees inside) in the evening, my nipples were so sore I was barely able to keep from crying.

The rest of my torso was on the warm side of comfortable. It happened yesterday: I went out a couple of times in no less than four layers of clothing including thermal top and warm coat.

I think they’re contracting really hard and then sore from that maybe? But I can’t really put more layers on because the rest of my torso is too warm. It's unpredictable - I can be fine in the snow, but occasionally it even happens when I’m inside with the heater on - when I’m cool, but not freezing cold. My nipples get extremely sore in the cold sometimes, and the pain stays for days afterwards. I’ve recently moved to a cold climate, and am having a delicate problem. Anon because of the possible TMI in this question.
