in Parenting after a Loss
I am sobbing in excruciating pain... I have done hot shower with massage, hot compress before pumping, ibuprofen...I cannot the right side to clear.  I feel like I can't massage it hard enough to clear it because i cant stand the pain.  Im going to try a hospital grade pump once a store opens with them...what else can I do???

    I'm so sorry you're dealing with this! I think you're doing all the right things, you may just need to keep doing them (again, and again, and again). It's such a pain, literally and figuratively, but those clogs can be awfully stubborn. I had a similar issue on my left side with one of my bouts of mastitis (though yours sounds more painful Sad ) and I had to keep hot washcloths on it all.the.time. I started using a wet washcloth under a heating pad with a waterproof cover because a hot washcloth didn't stay hot long enough.

    My LC also recommended soaking in a way that's similar to dangle feeding - get a big bowl of hot water, put it on a towel on the floor, and dangle your boob in it. That might help to surround the clog with heat and maybe soothe it enough that you can stand massaging it.

    I really hope this clears up soon for you.

    When I had Mastitis the only thing that helped me with my clogged duct was the antibiotic combined with everything you are already doing!  I had it twice with this pregnancy and I know how excruciating it can be.  ((HUGS))

    So sorry petunia! Try taking a warm bath. Try a heating pad while you are massaging and sometimes lotion or oil helps the massage too. It will go away in time.

    Also, go to the vitamin store and buy lecithin. Since my last clogged duct I have been taking it and all is good. It prevents future clogs.

    Good luck!!!

    When I had mastitis I couldn't get it to clear either. None of the massage/heat/etc. tricks worked. Only once the antibiotic kicked in did it feel better. How long have you been on the antibiotic?

    I just nursed and nursed and nursed as much as I could even though it hurt. I couldn't massage mine either because it hurt so bad. Are you getting enough sleep? That will help the antibiotic and your body to heal it faster.

    I'm sorry Petunia, I know how miserable it is!

    It sounds like mastitis. Antibiotics are the only thing that worked for me. I hope you get some relief soon!

    It sucks for sure... hand expressing in the shower was the only way I've cleared it when I've had them. If you haven't tried that its worth a shot. Hope you feel better soon, they are excruciating.

    If you're swollen, try ice after nursing in addition to the heat before nursing. Something about alternating the two helped me.
