Gentle hugzzz to you Mary Ellen, and welcome to our board. This is something I have rarely had to deal with and when I do my breasts are not terribly painful nor does it last for long. We do have some suggestions on the 'Natural Remedies' page at our Menopause Oasis for things that might help temporarily.
Is the doctor who is dissing you about this your family doctor or a GYN? Whichever, I'm thinking I'd demand that she pay attention to me or find someone else who will! And while some leaking can occur during these tremendous hormonal surges we go through at this time of life there should not be a whole lot of it.
The lumpiness may be due to fibroids (very common at our age) but still you should not have to deal with constant pain.
Please keep us posted on how you are doing. Please know that you are welcome here anytime ~ to ask questions, to vent, to share experiences or to just hang out with other gals who understand and care...
