I'm fairly certain that I have a blocked duct. After every feed much of my breast is soft but a large portion of it is hard and feels very painful/bruised. I can feel a hard area that is triangular shaped pointing towards my nipple. My nipple has lots of little pea like lumps under it where the tip of the triangle is iyswim?
I'm assuming that I have a blocked duct. I've tried feeding lots (about 3 hours almost continuously) including feeding with DD's chin pointing at the hard area (which results in my face being at nappy level ). I've tried really hot clothes being held over the area, expressing with my pump and hand expressing in the shower. Nothing is working. It hurts. It hurts a lot actually.
What do I do so that I can move my arm without wanting some morphine for the pain?!
