2 months of challenges

I've heard the pain goes away after a week or two, then it was a month, then 6 weeks and here we are 12 weeks in and still having some issues. It's definitely better but sometimes I am still in a lot of pain and milk is leaking out around babies mouth, nipples look pinched no matter what. I've seen a lactation consultant and the midwives have been helping me but noone really has any answers or solutions. We have gone through. A bunch of difficult things and made it and I don't want to give up. Has anyone else had trouble this long but stuck with it? I need some motivation, it seems like most people either figure it out or stop BF after this much time.
