Being engorged is no joke. My whole breast is like a rock and nothing is working. And pumping hurts like a bitch because…

What do you mean a hole in your boob??? Maybe try hand expressing, hopefully that doesn't hurt as bad as pumping

I had cancer removed the other day and they left the hole. Idk why they won't stitch it. Said it just needs to heal on its own over a few weeks. Yeah I got a little milk from hand expressing but damn it still hurts so bad and no more will come out :( @alexislopez

Warm compress or a nice shower. Massage your breasts(gently) starting out and work ur way in. All the way out to your armpits and upper chest. Our mammary glands start in that area and massaging towards the exit will help lol. Good luck mama! Do u have a dressing on the hole? It may help to cover it with gauze, I like to use two at a time to help create a cushion

Wow that's crazy that they won't stitch it up. Im glad you got that removed! Hopefully it heals fast for you. Ugh sorry mama, engorged boobs killllll. Maybe try putting a hot wash cloth on your boob while you hand express. When my milk was coming in my boob started to get red and hot in one spot bc I had so much milk so I got a wet wash cloth and put in it the microwave to make it hot and put it on my boob while I pumped and it helped. Hopefully that will help you!

Yeah I didn't shower but I did the compress and massage. Thank you!! Oh yeah I have occlusive dressing on it but it still hurts like a bitch lol

@alexislopez, @myliltadpole1116 thanks ladies! After hand expressing she finally got an okay latch and I'm feeling some relief! Hoping it all goes away :)
