Kim, you have not tried  RPS! 
 "Increased edema during the early postpartum period intensifies engorgement, increases sub-areolar tissue resistance, distorts the nipple and interferes with comfortable, efficient latching. I want to share an intervention that has proven very helpful in the first 7-14 days postpartum. I call it Reverse Pressure Softening. This measure uses gentle positive pressure, and can be performed by the health care provider, and/or taught to the mother herself, if necessary, over the telephone."  This is from Jean Cotterman RNC, IBCLC.   

It has help me enormously with clinical situations as yours.  Thank you Jean!  If you do not have her article, email me privately and i will send it to you.
ciao,
rose
