Back pain and breast reduction surgery
Breast reduction surgery can be tremendously beneficial in alleviating back pain and also improving self esteem if your large breasts make you feel self conscious. In general, breast reduction surgery averages at 99% patient satisfaction which is really hard to find in any operation. Since you have actual problems with your spine it's possible that breast reduction alone may not totally alleviate your pain, but removing the extra weight is likely to help decrease the stress on your back...
