clogged boobie

Yesterday I thought I was getting the flu because everything on my body hurt, as the day progressed and I realized that I wasn't feeling sick, just swore and that my boob hurt, it clicked. So I am doing the warm compress and draining it every few hours, has anyone else found something else that works. I read that most women get clogged ducts around the holidays because their schedules are more hectic and their more stresses, go figure.

    I fixed mine in about 3 hours by massaging A LOT.  Start from above the clog and go down towards the nipple.  Good luck, I know it hurts!  By the way, if you feel like you have the flu it may be mastitis.  You may want to see a doctor about that.

    This. I just had mastitis, and it basically feels like the flu. I had to be on antibiotics for 2 weeks. I'd recommend you go to the doctor.

    The thing that works for me every time (sometimes quicker than others) is a trick DH found on the Internet.  We heat up water and pour it into a diaper and use that as a compress.  That way the compress stays warm a really long time (longer than the ones I heat in the microwave anyway).  Be careful testing it though to make sure the temp isn't too warm.  It can get HOT! That combined with massage and LO nursing helps the pain to scram.
