Hello,
Pulsating pain and swelling in left breast while breast feeding could be due to breast abscess. Infection is common during lactation. I suggest you to consult your surgeon for clinical assessment and thus management. Breast feeding may have to be stopped else the infection may aggravate.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
