Help! One breast only on strike, milk supply down to almost nothing now....

I'm expressing for my 6 week old ds (he's a keen but chomping feeder and I'm too weedy to deal with the pain) which has been going well until now... the left breast has always been the under-performer, but still able to produce a perfectly reasonable amount. But suddenly over the last 36-48 hours, the milk supply in my left breast only has almost disappeared completely, rhs still fine though. Can anyone give advice or help please? I've already tried keeping that one on the pump for longer, and even put him back on that breast, but neither seem to be having any effect apart from making it sore...!
Sorry, I feel a bit mad for posting this!

It's frequency that drives the supply, orangina, and with expressing, you may need to 'do' each breast twice, swapping when you get down to a trickle only, and then swapping back again.

Without more info, it's hard to make any more suggestions.
