See below previous posts:  Yes, we tried positive pressure.  This mother went 
to a lymphedema therapist as initially we thought it was mastitis but 
unrelieved by usual methods therefore considered a lymph drainage problem.  
(the galactocele initially did not show up with Ultrasound) It filled regardless of 
tight binding, lymph massage. I never used castor oil... Did try cabbage 
leaves.

"I cared for a mother a year ago that had a "Huge" galactocele that was =
drained repeatedly for avg. 15oz every few days even though she pumped =
to empty it."

I wonder if *positive* pressure would have worked.  Like the stripping =
that's occasionally done for mastitis.  Go to a man with a needle for a =
solution, and he'll aspirate.  What would happen if one went to a =
massage therapist?  Has anyone tried it?=
