Answer 1

The best thing to do, is to talk to a doctor. I am not a big fan of doctors for helping you with that sort of pain, but they'll do. Sometimes chiropractors might be able to help, my mother is a physical therapist who does a technique called Integrated Manual Therapy that works wonderfully on the type of pain you are describing. The best I can do is suggest one of those three options. Probably the doctor is the most feasible, and a specialist might be able to tell you more. My grandmother had H's at one point, and I don't think she's ever had that type of pain. It all depends on your body type.

Oh! I just had another thought that has helped me with back pain!!! I have scoliosis which causes my back pain, and I've been doing Iyengar yoga. That type of yoga works on alignment and we use a lot of props so we don't hurt ourselves. Since I started yoga, I've had hardly any back pain; just a bit from hormones.

Answer 2

What's you bra size? Too many women jump to the conclusion of requiring sugery as it's the easy and fashionable option, conviniently forgetting that men can get back pain too. See a doctor who specialises in back problems, there might be issues with your spine.

If it turns out breasts are aggrevating the problem, it can be solved by getting a better fitting bra, phisiotherapy, improving posture (might need a longline bra) and excercise (general weight loss or something like the yoga suggested by someone else, that sounds like a great idea). No need to even think about surgery yet.

Answer 3

My breast reduction got rid of my back neck and shoulder pain.
