I can't take another summer of it

I'm 5'4 & size 14 with 38h chest , I'm in constant pain , have sores & I can't exercise properly because of them Sad
Its not like the size is a recent thing either as I was 34DD when I were 11 (14 years ago) so I have put up with the pain & sores for 14 years & I just can't do it any longer .
I want to be able to run round the park with Ds or go swimming & not get leered at as much , Simple things that I can't do .

I'm 25 & they reach my pissing knees , How attractive Hmm

So who do I go & see ?

Nurse or Doctor ?
How do I make them see this will benefit my health enormously?

or am I going to be fighting a losing battle ?

The first step is to go to your GP.

Go and see your gp

Breast reductions are available on the nhs for a medical or psychological need

There can be a long wait and you do need a sympathetic gp

Be prepared to be told you need to lose weight if your bmi puts you in the overweight category -often a catch 22 situation with breast reductions
