How do I get my doctor to recommend a breast reduction so it can be covered by my insurance?

Asked By:JaliaHarris29 in Milwaukee, WI

I'm 17 & i am currently a 34DDD. I really have bad posture and back and neck pains. I keep telling my doctor and all she recommend is I do some stretches & physical therapy. I hate not being able to shop because of my breast size & feeling like I draw too much attention to myself. I just wish she would see that I'm uncomfortable with myself and it brings pain, I even get rashes sometimes. So how do I convince her that I NEED a breast reduction ? I don't have the money for plastic surgery
