Can Having a Large Breast Size Cause Tendonitis And/or Bursitis?

June 17, 2011
Asked By:Daenyris in Temple Hills, MD

My surgeon's nurse thinks that the pain in my shoulder and arm may have been a symptom from my large breasts (38 DDD). This pain happened out of no where while I was sitting and hurt tot he point that I had to go to the ER and was given a sling. I am waiting to meet with my orthopedic doctor again because we were never clear about why the pain and fluid on the shoulder (shown on the MRI) occured suddenly, but he thought it was tendonitis and bursitis.
