Nipple pain

Im exclusively pumping milk only. 1 mth in, & i’ll get random nipple pain— gastric pain feel but on the nipple? Ive got mastitis too but the pain keeps coming back. Its so painful that I cant even carry my baby properly ☹️ & when I pump, not much milk flows out… i ended up taking painkiller all the time but till when? Anyone facing the same issue?

I had frequent mastitis because I couldn’t control my mouth 😓 (Mala, bbt….), sometimes I overslept. Try to get someone to massage and clear the existing clog first, pump on time and also have to control what you eat. Too sweet, too salty, too oily all cannot eat too much. Drink more water, take lecithin. For nipple pain, did you check your flange inserts size? Your nipple size may or may not change during your bf journey so best to remeasure again once in a while.
