My boobs are too big?

[Anonymous]

First off I'm a small girl. About 110 pounds, 5'1... and I have big boobs, 32DD to be exact. (Yes they're natural) since I've graduated college and started my job as a nurse they've been giving me a TON of back trouble. The only way I can think to fix this is breast reduction (which I've always wanted to do, but my boyfriend is super against it) Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks.

As others have said, appropriate exercise may be good for your back, bridging, leg raises, yoga, all are going to increase your flexibility and strengthen your core and nervous system. Personally, I'd also look at organ health too. Particularly your kidneys and large intestine. If you wear yourself out a lot, and don't get appropriate rest and nutrition (not going crazy on the sugar, meat, chemicals, refined products; and generally sleeping from 11pm till 7am; chewing thoroughly and taking the time to prepare your meal), you will get a sore back, boobs or not. Walking is also healing in my experience, too. If you can identify your pain starting once you started your nursing, then maybe you are indeed wearing yourself out and not taking care of yourself?

[Asker]

Probably. But honestly there isn't much I can do about it. Getting enough rest and eating healthy just isn't going to happen on the days when I have to work.

[Levin]

12 hour shifts? Or night shifts? maybe you can do some of this stuff on your days off? Anyway, I don't know what it's like to have boobs. So of course, it's up to you. But as I say, part of this pain is part and parcel of lifestyle! I don't have boobs, and if I don't take care of myself, my body bloody hurts!

outside of exercises to strenghten your core, back and shoulders. a more supportive bra... surgery may be your best option. just make sure, if you opt for surgery, that you thoroughly research a good surgeon. i've seen some really bad procedures that resulted in misshaped breasts, very uneven or bad scarring

[Relentless_Hippie]

Omg you're literally me! I'm 5'1" 32DD as well and I was 110 a little bit ago but I've gained some weight (I'm not fat though). I don't have back problems, I mean sure sometimes my back might hurt but I think it's all related to posture. I love my breasts, you should try loving yours.

[Asker]

... no

[Relentless_Hippie]

Well loving yourself is way cheaper and more rewarding than surgery. Perhaps try working on your core.

[Asker]

I love myself just fine... but it doesn't stop my back from hurting.

[Relentless_Hippie]

So exercise to strengthen the muscles in your back and improve your posture. That's where the problem lies.

[Goldilocks24]

Duh your boyfriend is super against it lol if it's for your health then I'd get the reduction done. I actually have a friend who had the same exact problem but all throughout high school and she ended up having a reduction because it kept her from doing simple daily activities

[Anonymous]

i'm super against it. you are gifted. you must strengthen your back muscles instead. start lifting waits being supervised by a knowledgable mentor. it saved my back. and enhanced my physique and confidence too

[Asker]

Don't have time for that.

[Opinion Owner]

well can't you go to a hospital with a more humane program?

[Asker]

Every hospital is the same darling. They all require 12 hour shifts.

[Opinion Owner]

did you know that before you went to nursing school?

[Asker]

Yep! I love my job haha.

[Opinion Owner]

there are no excuses. you'll find half an hour in your day to go for weight lifting and core strengthening program.

[Asker]

It's not that important to me... so no. I won't.

[Opinion Owner]

if your back is not important to you good luck with that.

[Intraluminal]

Weight training will help tremendously. Also, I'd be willing to bet that you hunch over to deemphasize your breasts. That's probably a large contributor to the problem. My daughter is also blessed, and once she accepted herself, her back pain went away. She also earned a black belt so she's in shape, which is important too.

[Asker]

While I would love to be super in shape and all that... it just isn't going to happen. My life is so busy, adding a workout regimen is next to impossible. My posture is fine.

[Intraluminal]

It's not JUST a question of posture. A little muscle from even just push-ups will help. Would you rather have disfiguring surgery or spend a little effort on yourself?

[Intraluminal]

If you're a nurse, I am too, then you also know that surgeons don't see the negatives of surgery as much or as well as we do.

[Asker]

That might be true... I mean it is true, but the fact of the matter is I don't really have a healthy enough diet to gain the amount of muscle that I need to support my diet. My life is very busy currently. I don't have the time or energy to eat right, work, be a decent girlfriend, get enough sleep so that I don't go insane, AND do school work...

[Asker]

To support my boobs*

[Asker]

Oh AND work out on top of all that. Even if it is just 15 mins a day

[Intraluminal]

How many HOURS of surgical and recuperive time do you think this surgery will consume under IDEAL circumstances?

[Asker]

Yes. But I can get time off for that... they're not going to give me days off because I need to go to the gym.

[Intraluminal]

Isn't that ironic? They'll give us time off to get cut up, but not the 15 minutes a day we need to take care of ourselves so we don't need to be cut up. Well, you're just going to have to get cut. Good luck!

[cavmanier]

I would try strengthening you core, especially your lower back, before surgery.

I'll willingly swap my 36GG's for your much smaller 32DD's.

[abc--123]

Somehow I don't think she will take this offer.

[Kaylyne]

@abc--123 Somehow I think you're probably right.

[DanoM1]

My best answer would be to go to the gym. Talk with a PT and ask him for back exercises. Most of them will help you with it

[Glen68]

I say do it and if your boyfriend is that against it then he doesn't care about your well being enough

[datgirl]

I mean if it's really hurting you I say you should go and the reduction.

[lovydoey]

If it hurts ur back then they are too big for u

[Kachatterjee]

Accept what is natural.

[Kiran04]

Pics or it didn't happen.

[Casstiel]

Try your chance at TV's 😆

[ACrazyHaggis]

do you do any form of strength based exercise?

[Asker]

Honest to god I don't have time to exercise... so no

[ACrazyHaggis]

hmm ok if you do get the time to exercise i would reccomend a strength based exercise

that not being an option to help relive some of the possible back strength i would reccomend trigger point therapy with something like a hard ball or a foam roller

here is a video as an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVHQF0yHtSM

[Asker]

Thanks!

[ACrazyHaggis]

no worries happy to help ! :)

[MakingMeHiiiigh]

You should do exercises to strengthen your posture

[abc--123]

Maybe try better supporting bras like sports bras

[Asker]

Yeah I mean that's what I wear

[abc--123]

In that case im out of ideas. My experiences with boobs have all been about the bra coming off not which supports the best

[Asker]

Lol! I appreciate the effort

[Anonymous]

You should go for it if it's so bad

[Utkarshnavandar03]

Let it be as it is

[Anonymous]

they look so
