@wolfe1134, you can put it on the skin with a carrier oil such as olive oil or coconut, and eat some altoids or have peppermint tea!
@kengie, thank you so much I am going to give it a try
I didn’t pump. Only self expressed when I was in pain. And only enough to relieve the pressure. Took about a week for it to dry up. Also, no nipple stimulation. That will make your body think it’s feeding time.
Were you in pain the entire week or only for the first few days
@wolfe1134, just the first 2 or 3 days. If I remember right I only had to hand express once. And it took an extremely hot shower and a hard massage to get it to release.
@db413, thank you I’ll give it a go today is day 2 and I’m going nuts. To touch them at the moment is torture.
I heard cabbage leaves help that I don't know for fact never done it but I heard it works.
Peppermint oil!
