Calling all experienced BFers

I need to hear from all experienced breastfeeding moms. I'm nine days in and my you-know-whats are cracked, bleeding and raw. It is too painful to nurse, in spite of Motrin, Vicodin and Tylenol. For the past 24 hours I have just been pumping and putting it in a bottle instead. I'm still so sore... I seem to recall the last two times that the first week was rough and then we settled in, but we're past that now and I am getting very discouraged.
