I am 20 years old, 5'3", 107lbs and my breast size is a 30 DDD. This shoulder, upper back, and neck pain has always been an issue and an extreme inconvenience for me. To complicate things more, I injured my arm and shoulder. I have a torn rotator cuff, carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves/nerve damage (all located on my right side) and recently developing arthritis in my neck. I have Texas Medicaid. I haven't brought up my breast size in doctors visits but I believe a reduction is necessary.
