Improve body pain with breast reduction

Barry E. DiBernardo, MD answers: Would breast reduction help relieve body pain?

I am 36J now, and only 5'2". I have been having a lot of body pain. Would a breast reduction help relieve me of some pain? How can I find a good doctor to trust this to? Will insurance cover it? Please help me in making this decision.

With breasts as large as you are describing, not only may you have a good shot at insurance coverage  (if your doctor participates) but the enormous strain of the weight on your spine and neck can create much pain. A good chiropractor can document this and perhaps help write a letter for your insurance.
