No other tips but I did this too. I really did feel like I was making coleslaw in my bra! Oh the things we go through for our amazing children!

Ha, I had really bad lower body swelling after my c-section so the nurses decided to try to wrap my legs in cabbage to see if it would help the swelling... I had about 2 heads of cabbage wrapped on my legs. Not sure if it actually helped or not!

I heard ice packs and warm showers help with the pain as well....

I used them and I believed it really helped draw the moisure out faster. I was completely dry w/o any leakage within 4 days. I used the leaves just for the first two, and also took benedryl for the second two. It supposedly helped dry the milk sinuses. ( I had full time help at that time don't take benedryl if you are home alone with LO)
