TOWIE'S Sam Faiers has opened up on the terrifying pain in her right breast which sent her body into "shutdown." The mum of three, 31, who gave birth to her youngest baby boy in May, told how she was left "shivering and cold" by the condition - which at first she did not understand.
After seeking medical advice Sam told fans she was suffering a blocked milk duct, which is an inflammation of the breast otherwise known as mastitis.
She reassured fans she was feeling "a million times better" but had been taking the necessary steps to get fully well. Posting a tender image showing her son cuddled to her chest, she wrote on Instagram: "OK so last night I started to feel a really tender pain in my right breast. "Then my whole body went into shutdown. .css-16e4f55{margin:16px 0;}.css-u6yh49{background-color:rgba(246,242,249,1);margin:16px 0;}.css-1tapza8{padding:20px 15px;}.css-1bk4jdt{padding:20px.
