Why does breastfeeding with inverted nipples hurt at the start?

I am a breastfeeding mom. My left breast has inverted nipple. Why is it so painful during the start of breastfeeding when my daughter tries to draw the nipple out? Is there any way I can correct this? Thanks!

    You can pump a little before so that it’s already pulled out, or you can try nipple shields.

    Breastfeeding in general is painful in the begining, over time it will get better.
    Have you tried a nipple shield for that breast?
