Default Having to hand express with Medela PIS - HELP!!!

Hello Ladies,

Its my first time posting here. I am a first time Mom and got bak to work at 12 weeks. I have been trying to pump at work every 3 hours. I was pumping even when I was staying home and built some freezer stash.
My problem is I have to hand express milk even with PIS. It hurts my boobs to hand express it so hard. I know milk is there and it won't come out fast enough unless I hand experss and squeeze it. Since couple days I had clogged ducts which HURTS and I can't get the milk out.
Has anyone experienced this? I bought the PIS brand new 3 months ago. Should I try any other pump? I was thinking of renting hospital grade pump because I don't want to quit pumping. Please help!!!!
