You would greatly benefit from it. I had severe back pain and then had a breast reduction and my back pain was GONE!

Look into it, it can be covered by insurance!

Yes, I can tell you that's most likely the problem. I'm 13 and I'm already a big C, almost D. My mother was the same, and was DDD by the time she was finished having kids. She got breast reduction surgery, but since she went through pregnancy without it, she has permanent back problems now. I'm following right in her footsteps.
Breast reduction surgery can be done two ways; liposuction and an actual surgery. Now, with the actual surgery (which is usually what is used), you're risking the ability to breast feed. If you're planning on having children, I would wait until you're done with nursing, then talk to your doctor about it. Lipo can be done, but is not the best choice. I'd talk to your doctor a.s.a.p about this, and see what he/she thinks. But of course, go to your mom first!
I am already getting huge back problems from my breasts, so I can relate.

Hope I was of some help. Good luck. :)

Not only CAN you get a breast reduction, it is proven that women who do get the procedure done have a marked reduction or total elimination of back and shoulder pain. Human breast tissue is very heavy and puts an enormous strain on the spine. Excellent question!!! By the way, the scarring is virtually invisible, but do your research and find a reputable surgeon.

Over sized breast can contribute to a lot of different problems including back pain. You can get a breast reduction usually covered by medical insurance if it is proven that it is medically necessary. If you don't have medical insurance try to buy a very good support bra~ forget trying to look cute under your clothes. You need good support. If your bra leaves whelps on the tops of your shoulders that is usually a sign you need to see a doctor to discuss a reduction.

yes that can be the problem and yes you can get a breast reduction. my aunt went through the same thing. she had to prove to the insurance company that they were basically hazardous to her health. she took pictures of the indentations that her bra straps made in her shoulders and provided chiropractor bills. that helped them pay for some of it at least. just remember that your milk supply really can decrease after a breast reduction if trying to breastfeed an infant and you will most likely loose sensation of your nipples. one of the girls i work with had one done and that was her only regret. i am large chested too so i feel for ya!! :)

Yes, that could be the cause, and yes, you can get a reduction. Talk with your doctor.

Meanwhile, invest in some sturdier bras - regular thin-strapped bras won't give you enough lift and support. Get some strong thick-strapped bras, and have the gal give you a proper fitting. It can make a huge difference to your back.

Yes you can but its only considered necessary if you are over a E cup I think - This is where Medicare will give you money back - a D cup, they wont and you will have to foot the bill.

it can be a big problem you should talk to your doctor about it because some insurance might pay if it is for medical reasons so be sure to talk to your doctor so you do not have major back problems in the future.
