Not sure how it was painful for you to run out of milk. The pain comes when you are fully engorged and you need to stop breastfeeding for whatever reason. You are in pain because you can't express the milk or you'll never stop the lactation. So ... then you have to bind your breasts and sometimes take pills to stop the lactation. That can be very painful. If you stop naturally as the baby weans itself, it's not painful at all.
As for breastfeeding itself, the pain comes when you first start out with the newborn (or adult) and you think ... oh ... this is going great ... and do it for about 1/2 hr. or 45 min. a side to start off with. By the time a couple days of that, every 3 hrs. has gone by, you have totally raw nipples. I had to have my breasts bare in the hospital, and they put some kind of iodine or something they painted on them, and then I had to just sit there with them open to the air with nothing on top. They put a curtain around the bed, of course. So ... lesson learned for the 2nd and 3rd child. NO LONGER THAN 15 minutes a side until the nipples are toughened up and the milk has come in. The nipples don't lose their feeling totally, but they lose some of their SUPER sensitivity.
