Its been 3 years and my breast are still swollen and hurt and i have milk still. I stopped breastfeeding at my childs 3 to 4 month period. Now its been 3 years and some change and my breast constantly hurt and when i squeeze them a lil bit of milk comes out. Should i be worried and get checked? Or is this milk going to go away on its own?
