I have just started wearing a bra and it really hurts. Does or did anyone have this problem?? If so, what can I do?

The reason it hurts is because it doesn't fit... 8 out of 10 women aren't wearing the right size of bra....I heard victoria secret has proper fittings, I would get that done and buy one that fits!
Step One: Band Size
Using a soft tape-measure, measure around the ribcage directly under the bust. The tape should rest on the lower band of your bra. Be sure the tape is snug, smooth across the back and level with the front.
Add 5 to this measurement to obtain your band size. For example, if your ribcage measurement is 29" + (5) = 34" band size. If the resulting band size is an odd number like 33", you can usually go to the next even band size (34"), but you may also want to try the next lower band size (32").
Step Two: Cup Size
Measure completely around the bust at the fullest point, holding the tape measure straight but not tight. The difference between this measurement and your BAND size is your cup size. Each inch of difference is equal to one cup size. For example, if your band size is 34" and your bust measurement is 35", you wear an "A" cup.
if the difference is:
less than 1 inch =
1 inch =
2 inches =
3 inches =
4 inches =
5 inches =
AA cup
A cup
B cup
C cup
D cup
DD cup
While this method is generally reliable, every woman's figure is different and results may vary slightly. We recommend that you try several sizes and styles to find the fit that works best for you. You can also visit a Victoria's Secret Store near you for a free personal bra consultation.

You most likely don't fit it so just go around your chest with a tape measure and do that if someone you know knows how or go somewhere where they'll do it for you

You probably are in the wrong size. Have yourself measured at a place like Victoria's Secret and find out your correct measurments.
