I know that this sounds kind of crazy but can large breast cause a herniated disk?

Question

I am a 34 year old mother of 2 and i have always had large breast {DDD}. And i have always had problems with my upper back and now i find that i have a herniated disk in my lower back, i have not had a injury or accident so could the large breast be the problem and should i have a reduction

Answer 1

I think herniation is not often from accidents but more often from repetitive stressful use (bending and lifting - people usually think men picking up boxes but in women, picking up babies/children is a BIG stress). I don't think large breasts can *cause* herniation, but I think carrying around the weight of large breasts can put more strain on the back, so it could possibly contribute.
The breast reduction surgery question is a little harder. Ask your doctor if s/he thinks the breasts were a contributing factor and if s/he would recommend breast surgery, first of all. Then get more information about other factors to consider (infection rate, how long you'll have to be not active after the surgery) before deciding. (Also take some consideration of whether they'll be likely to grow large again after surgery. A friend of mine got a breast reduction to a C cup, and within a couple years they were up to a D. She is a little overweight. And she started out as DD or something, so she says she's still happy with the results. I don't know what kind of experiences other people have had.)

Answer 2

Alot of your back problems could be caused by the large breasts. If you dont want to get a reduction dont but if you keep having problems with your back your doctor may even suggest you get a reduction. Good Luck

Answer 3

confident, maximum truthfully. I be stricken by it occassionally even with the undeniable fact that it has by no ability gotten too intense. even with the undeniable fact that, i'm purely 20, so as that would factor into why I truthfully have not. I truthfully have straightforward a lot of human beings who've gotten breast savings because of the fact their decrease back discomfort became so intense. i think it purely differs with each and every woman! have you ever tried purely loosening the straps to work out if that helps and/or gotten sized to make advantageous the bras you have been are the right length and in great condition for you? that would help in case you have no longer. otherwise, which you need to to speak approximately it with a family contributors wide-unfold practitioner if it starts to harass you frequently. If it is going to become a intense concern, then which you need to to contemplate breast alleviation way down the line. a good style of insurances conceal it. i'm a 30 D and that i weigh one hundred twenty and am 5'2", so i've got self belief your discomfort!

Answer 4

Yes, breasts can cause back problems. If you have oversized breasts, your back can be pulled out of alignment and all kinds of chaos will ensue. Some insurances will cover breast reductions if your back is out of whack because of their size. I think it would definitely be worth talking to my doctor about. There is no reason you should have to suffer because of the way your body is built. Big boobs are great, but pain is not.
