Sad i'm so fed up i could cry.

the bit under my boobs (i guess its the rib cage wherre the bottom of a bra sits) is so sore, its hurting so much i could actually cry right now, they are the reason i havent been able to sleep for the last few days, the pain is just too much.

i thought it may be due to my bra not fitting properly (even tho they are still sore when i'm not wearing a bra), so yesterday went out and bought some new ones (i was wearing 34d, i bought 38d Shock i didnt realise i had grown that much) i'm not convinced they are the right size tho and think i still need a larger back size.

does anyone know what i can do to stop them being so sore?

I had this when pg. It's so weird (and painful) isn't it?

Are you taking paracetomol?

Well you can take paracetomol when pg, can't you?
I did-think it helped but tbh by your stage, if it's not one things it's another.

I swam a lot-that helped.
Or baths and showers?
Glass of wine.
Foot massgae.

Not long to go-hang in there. Smile

I would see the doctor - this isn't usual afaik and could be inflammation of the cartilage between the ribs.

I would doubt you've gone up 4 back sizes too. If your ribs are sore, any bra that fits will feel tight, but buying looser back sizes will only mean you end up with neck/back ache.

thanks. my doc is a bit of a perv, so i'll see if i can get an appointment with another one, again it hadnt occurred to me to go and see a doctor. its amazing what sleep deprivation can do to a brain! still at least i'm preparing for her not to sleep Grin

i have gone up to a 38 tho, i was measured, and the 34's were very tight (i was only wearing a bra when i had to go out of the house, or had someone coming over) i just hadnt got around to sorting it out Blush

thanks for the paracetamol tip, they allowed me to get 4.5 hours sleep which is the most i've had in days Grin
