boobs and back pain
 

ok so.. i know a lot of people on here probably suffer from back pain due to their breasts, so i wanted some opinions


i have spinal osteoarthritis as many of us do, its not the most severe case but for my age it isnt great. i CONSTANTLY have pain in between my shoulder blades and along my upper spine and neck. it feels like my shoulder blades are being pulled into my spine.

does this seem like its because of my breasts?

theyre not HUGE or anything (only about a D), but theyre heavy. the only bra i can wear comfortably is a spanx bra because the shoulder straps dont adjust and theyre wide and soft and stretchy. if i try to wear anything else the straps hurt. even in the spanx bra by the end of the day im in a lot of pain. my neck, back and even my shoulders crack constantly.

any words of advice or ideas of what to do?

now im laughing because i see "boobs and bras" a few posts down. must be a booby kind of day

Are you sure you're wearing the right size bra? The straps shouldn't be bearing the weight, the band and cups should. If the straps are cutting in painfully, that's usually a sign that the bra is the wrong size and not giving you the right support.
