    Massage while pumping, it may be the begginings of a clogged duct.

    Also warm compresses will help.

    I had one and it went away in about 2 days, it may be that you aren't pumping long enough to get all the Hindmilk out and technically it is sticky so if there is too  much left it gets stuck.

    always pump until flow stops and 2 minutes past

    I agree.  Warm cloth just before you pump.  Showers work great!  Massage by pushing hard toward the nipple. 

    I have found that I normally get them after my baby sleeps on my chest... I love it too much to stop though!  =)
