Ice packs on them will help! I had the same problem with mine, although I also leaked

Ice packs will help. Also if you try express by hand, when they are most uncomfortable, when your in the shower is the best time as the heat helps release the milk, it will relieve you of some of the pressure.

But if you aren't breastfeeding you probably shouldn't express as it will encourage milk production (heat will encourage the production as well). I know it's hard and it hurts for the first few days

I was told not to even touch them in the shower so that the milk would dry up sooner.

regular painkillers and a good supportive bra will help to
