I am 22, mother of a 3 year old, not working currently.. I wear a F/G bra, I am completely uncomfortable with my body and in pain all the time. I can't run without my breast slamming down on me. I'm at a loss for words. I've changed my stance/ posture, new shoes, how I sleep. Nothing permanently changed to my agonizing shoulder back pain. I can't afford to pay for a full breast reduction. But I am on Medicaid, would I qualify for a reduction?
