strange pain, ladies only



Recommended Posts

hey everybody, well ladies =)

yesterday i had a really odd pain in the middle of my chest, it was so uncomfortable it was hard to stand up straight. I had not eaten a thing since the night b4 so i know it was not anything stuck.

i felt it hard to breathe and it was painful. it was almost throbbing and was sharp

I decided to unhook my bra ( i have big boobs so i wear a parachute lol) and after about 2 mins it was gone.

I thought how weird that it? i wonder if my over the boulder shoulder holder was to tight on my band? or is the 2 were not even connected

i ate dinner fine last night,

i do seem a litte sore in that area today with a different bra on. its like when i sit too long,

anybody else have anything like this????

Melissa,

In another forum, there was a thread about not being able to eat wearing a bra. I don't remember that the posters reached a conclusion about why this would happen.

I have big girls too, and I've occasionally had a problem. I haven't had an intense pain like you described, but it sometimes makes it difficult to breathe for a few minutes. Certain types of underwires cause the weight of my boobs push the bottom of the bra so it rests on something...not sure what...but it's uncomfortable. Usually, I just tighten the straps so the girls are jacked up a little bit, or try to situp straighter.

Good luck!

My bra hurt me after surgery. I could only where a sports bra if anything. After about two weeks, i could wear a wire for short periods of time and now can wear it all day, no problem. I think it just had to heal and the pressure bothered it

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
