shoulder pain 9 months po

Hi ladies, i am 9 months po now

For about the past 3 months i have had a painful shoulder, it feels like a real muscle ache and hurts so bad when im lifting stuff down from above, i have also been experiencing numb fingers which become so painful during the night that i am often awake many times

I have been down to see my doc an she has given me muscle relaxers as she thinks i may have a trapped nerve but after many weeks of taken tablets it hasn't got any better, I have also had physio which has done nothing for it.

After looking on the internet for many hours i came across a few girls who also had BA's many months ago and are now experiencing the same symptons as me, have any of you ladies ever came across anything like this before?

Two of the girls have went to the extent of having their implants removed! I really don't want this, but i also don't want this pain anymore, it's so depressing and just recently my left shoulder has been feeling achey also

My doc has referred me for an MRI scan but it can take up to 8 months to get an appointment as i'm not classed as an emergency because i can still move my arm

Thanks for taking the time to read this

Any help would be great

I've not experienced anything like this myself, nor do I know of anybody Josie, but I'm glad you've sought medical advice and they are acting on that.

I know my GP would blame any ache or pain I had on my implants and from her attitude toward me having them, I can tell she's very disproving and there's always been a reason after investigation to prove my implants aren't the problem.

I'm just wondering Josie..... have you been professionally fitted into your bra and when was your last professional fit? I've heard wearing the wrong sized bra can produce symptoms like those you speak of. The weight of the breast can pull on the shoulder straps and cause nerve damage due to not having the appropriate support around the band of the bra, which is where all the support comes from (a lot of women presume it comes from tightening the shoulder straps which is wrong).

Have a read through this article HERE Josie. xx

I was about to say the same thing as cookie, try the bra measurement. Also last year I started doing a new exercise video which included push ups, I think I did too much and my shoulder was painful when reaching up or forward for months.
