Hm...maybe I could become a wet nurse, do they still have those these days?

Try warm showers and warm compresses. I know that when I was nursing my son, I could express a little into the sink and that would help with the pressure, but I am not sure you want to do that with a side effect because your body might make more milk, thinking there is a demand for it.
If you have a large tube sock, fill it with rice, tie a tight knot and stick the whole thing in the microwave for 30 seconds. Apply it to your chest and it should help with the pain.
Definitely call your p-doc. Maybe there is some sort of med that would inhibit the prolactin levels...
