Does anyone have any experience of relactation?

My 10 week old DD is exclusively BF, but from my right breast only.

Left breast originally had an over supply, then had a whole host of problems which were misdiagnosed, but turned out to be a huge abscess. The breast tissue was so crushed that it was probably quite damaged - it was incredibly painful. Once I was referred to the breast clinic they were fantastic - the abscess is gone, the infection is gone and I feel great. But it means I haven't fed off that breast for nearly a month and the supply is gone.

I can't find much info online about this situation and the clinic doctors don't know that much about feeding, oddly enough.

Currently, the tissue is still quite damaged, and feels quite hard - DD can't latch onto it yet. Anything I could try?
