Big boobs and back pain - help?

2 replies

Hi

ive had back pain since as long as I can remember - around age 13 my mum started trying to get me help for it. I’m convinced it’s from having large boobs on a small frame - they’re not that big, DD, but I’m very petite and after having two children I never get to the gym to build any muscle to strengthen my back muscles which might help?

any suggestions? I’d love a boob reduction but I’m too scared to have surgery.

any recommendations for very supportive bras maybe?

side note I see a lot of women with much bigger boobs than me and I genuinely want to ask how they manage? How do they manage when I’m in such pain? Maybe I have just more of a weak back genetically?

any advice appreciated

I have a petite frame and DD's , they were a lot bigger in my younger years and I suffered with back pain, until I learned to strengthen my core muscles

They are very easy exercises , need no equipment and can be done anywhere where you have enough room to lie flat on the floor

I got taught them at a back fitness class , which is something you can look into see if your Trust offers one , but any physio can teach you or you can look online
