Hi! So I am April of 2020 I woke up with sharp pain under my left boob on my ribcage. It hurt when I was breathing so I went to work then to the urgent care. The doctor figured it was from my underwire bra which made sense but was odd since it didn’t hurt at all prior to waking up that morning and I wasn’t wearing a bra to bed of had anything pushing on my body there. Fast forward covid and I was working remotely. I guess I wore sports bras more with tshirts and that didn’t bother me?? Well now I started last Monday working in person again in a professional setting and am in extreme pain under my left boob specifically where my rib is. It hurts when I breathe in, is ore painful when I push on that area. Theres barely a red mark from my bra and I haven’t worn one in 24 hours and it’s more painful and sharp when I move. Probably just a coincidence but I go to physical therapy and work on my posture/breathing and for whatever’s reason my left rib/lung is always more tense and when I take deep breaths doesn’t move as much (never noticed until my physical therapist told me). I have been wearing a tank top for the past day and taking pain medicine and it feels worse. I know the obvious thing to do is not wear a bra with a wire underneath but I am a ddd/e and need the push/support. I have several different bras, all good brands and all. I’m not sure what I should do since i would like a breast reduction and pretty sure this is from the wire it’s just odd it’s my left side only and hurts when I breathe. Last time they didn’t want to give me an X-ray but it is very painful and at least that could help me with insurance on getting a reduction approved??? I don’t know how I am going to go to work tomorrow and not be in pain. Has anyone else had such extreme pain before?
