Asked By:relly in carthage in Carthage, NY

I am 5'3 or 5'4, 176 pounds and I ware a 38ddd and 36G (depending on the brand of the bra). I am always having issues with my health because of my breast. Example: When I lay down flat on my back it's very hard to breath. Also they hurt when I don't ware a bra because of the constant sagging, which causes me to slouch over. I have bruises from my bra's, dents in my shoulders because the weight and sagging of my breast.I have severe back, shoulder and neck pains. I really can't take it anymore.
