I had to exclusively pump with Maggie for several weeks until I made an appointment with a lactation specialist. I actually had too much milk and was choking DD when she would latch on. She also had a latching problem. She would bite down instead of latching. Long story short, it worked for me really well and I have known other mommies that have done it that way. It was not painful (it was actually a relief to express the milk). I have the Medela Swing Pump and found it very suitable. I also went on the pump at work once I started back. I did notice that my milk supply would start to dwindle if I slacked off any of my pumping sessions during the day. It is really very different for every woman, but I hope you can do what you want to in the end.
