Clogged milk duct while weaning

I have not BF DD for a week now and I think I may have a clogged duct. When I was BF I would just pump and have DD eat off the sore side while massaging the area whenever I got a clogged duct. Now that I'm not nursing her, I am not sure what to do to get it to go away. Any suggestions? How long will the engorgement/pain last from weaning?

    steamed shower and massage. after that pump for 2-3 minutes.  If that doesn't do it try the same thing again in an hour or two.  You don't want to pump too much off because your body will think she needs it- but weaning doesn't mean going cold turkey on the release.
