Help me with my boobs!

Help, I'm done nursing but soooo engorged and in so much pain.  I was told to pump a little off and it would help.  It doesn't help.  Its been 2 days of misery.  Any advice?

chilled cabbage leaves in your bra, avoid getting warm or hot water on them, wear tight sports bra

don't use cabbage leaves if you're allergic to sulfa drugs!  I don't know why this is, but I'm allergic to sulfa and was told to not use them because of it.

 

I'd pump to empty.  I did this when I weaned once or twice and it didn't lengthen the dry up period, but OMG was it a relief.

My aunt told me when she stoppd bf'ing, her Dr told her to get in a hot shower...which she did and said it helped.

I have heard the cabbage leaf one a lot too.

ok good to know because I am allergic to sulfa drugs.  I'm so confused if I should pump or not.
