I had my baby 4 days ago and my breasts have been severely engorged for about 24 hours now. I am not breastfeeding and i was told by the hospital lactation consultant do not stimulate or express my boobs bc it will prolong the problem

My boobs feel like rocks and it hurts all the way to my armpit. I can barely type on my phone and i can’t have my arms at my side. Laying down it’s extremely painful and i definitely cannot Lay in my side. It’s to the point it has me in tears because it hurts so bad and it’s constant.

I’ve been using refrigerated cabbage leaves and changing them every 20 min or so bc they loose the cold so fast bc my breasts are so hot. I don’t know what to do!! I can’t handle days of this! I just want to feel normal again and take care of my baby 😐
