Cabbage leaves? Cool compress? Paracetamol?

I know the feeling, mine were agony I wanted to bloody lop them off, and was not impressed I couldn't take proper painkillers to make it stop!

I don't have any other ideas but fingers crossed someone who does will come along soon

I had this last week. They immediately felt better once I'd given my first feed. Any chance you can try and hand-express some colostrum?

Have yous checked you haven't developed mastitis?

Cold compress / cold savoy cabbage leaves may help.
