Breast pain and PMT

Are there any magic trick for shrinking breasts? I'm in the throes of PMT. Each one is the size of a melon and feels like a bruise. Fed up with this month after month. All tips gratefully received!

I wear two Brevia bras at the same time, one on top of the other. Including at night. They're like sports bras. Offers some relief.

Evening primrose oil usually helps me but I have to remember to take it all through the month and double or triple the dose 2-3 days before and during my period.

I tried evening primrose oil for a few months but noticed no difference at all :(

reducing caffeine helped.

That's interesting about caffeine. I had cut down drastically for other reasons, but this week I've been mainlining it to try to stave off a migraine and my boobs are definitely tender.
