Tender after weaning - how long?

[Miss.September]

DD2's last feed was nine nights ago. She was only having one feed each day and only from one side. I lasted 48 hours before the pain hit. Since then, I've needed to hand express once and I've been massaging any lumps out. I'm still so tender though. A family member gave me a bear hug on Sunday and it took everything I had not to scream! Everyone else got a sideways hug after that

I don't remember how long it took for it to stop after DD1 finished feeding. DD2 was a far more enthusiastic feeder though. How long were you tender for?

If you're wanting to scream, then it's not so much tender but painful, from the sounds of it. Doesn't sound right. Are you engorged/blocked up or could it be something else?
