Are the size of my breasts the cause of my trapezius muscle pain? (Photo)

January 14, 2016
Asked By:Strawberrybubble in Sacramento, CA

I am currently 21, a size 32 HH, 5'7 in height, and weigh 177 lbs. I have had serious issues with constant swelling and spasming in my trapezius muscles in between my neck and shoulders, since I was in high school and was a size 32 F and 132 lbs. My doctors always told me it was stress related, but the bigger my breasts got, the more my muscles hurt. Is there a direct correlation or are my muscles only swollen and spasming because of stress?
