Impingement in shoulder caused by bra strap?

M
MhhdavisJan 19, 2015

Is it possible that my shoulder impingement has been caused by a bra strap? I'll be fine and then wake one morning with severe pain in my shoulder. This has happened more than once. How do I broach the topic of breast reduction to my family doctor with the shoulder pain as the catalyst?
