Would breast reduction surgery benefit me and reduce chronic back and neck pain?

Kieri
I wear a size 38D cup. I've two spinal fusions; L4-Sacrum and C4-6. I stay as physically active and ride a recumbent bike regularly. I've nursed my four kids. I've chronic pain and I dislike taking pain meds due to the damage they do to my stomach. My first fusion was 15 years ago and I am facing additional surgery and hardware as I have two more bulging discs above my lumbar fusion. My question is do you believe a breast reduction would benefit me and mitigate the pain?
