Should I start pumping?

I've had issues with milk not drying up and it's now 3 weeks PP and I'm still leaking a lot, despite using cabbage leaves, sage tea, no stimulation and anti inflammatories. I even had milk leaking about a month before birth.
I have had mastitis in the last week and finished antibiotics and I'm terrified of it coming back.
Would I be insane to try pump? And continue to formula feed while using whatever I collect? Would a hand pump like the haaka be sufficient?
Sorry for the long post, any help is appreciated :)
