I wonder that too but keep in mind that any time your put under fm gets worse I know it stinks

Don't know, but do know surgery is a stress, and stress makes FM worse. That's about all I know about this one. Prayers and hugs.

Nope, I had a breast reduction when I was 25. I had FM before and still do. It did unpinch the dead nerves along my bra line. It took about 2 or 3 years before it unknotted.

The problem I have now, is that I gained over 100lbs and still a B cup, so I can't find a bra that fits. I've even tried ordering numerous ones off eBay/online sites. Most don't go to 54, just 48. Or if they do go to 54, then they start at a C cup. It is nice that the law of gravity seldom happens and they are still pretty "perky"! LOL

Hey there my best feature I ain't going to give them up even though I cannot bear wearing a bra for any length of time.

No, may make back pain ease if it is caused by large breasts. But reduction alone will not do anything for fm

Whyme,
I am a newbie; never posted before, but I had the same question.
I think that one was adequately answered by the replies to yours.
Thanks

NO it wouldn't but hey if I can get the insurance to think so !! I'll sure give it a try :)

Dixie, My reduction was fully covered under Canadian medical. I have heard that in the US, you can get it covered if you can prove that you are in pain.

I got all excited when I read you post Carrien, then hubby walked in and said "NO WAY, Forget it" dashed my hope to pieces!! Maybe when i'm old and they are dragging the floor I'll ask him again..LOL

Dixie, my hubby's a leg man so it didn't bother him! ROFL

LOL

mab yafter you get old and they sag you can flip them over your sholders as you walk . im a 42dd . mine arent quite that bad yet. but wish they were smaller have serious back and neck problems.

in the US it depends on the type of insurance you have. I had my previous boss work his behind off to find out how to get it covered but he found out a bunch of insurance political red tape.

I had lost weight and my breasts grew larger as a result. At the rate they were growing I didnt have time to play games with the insurance nonsense so I ended up paying cash.
I always had fm, and my recovery from surgery was longer as a result although I didnt know I had it for as long as I did. It took me three yrs to completely recover from surgery. I would have nerve pain shoot through my breasts at randam, when I was in public too. Its not a big deal when women notice it and ask you, but the last thing you want is for men to question you, and yes it has happened in front of men too.
Thank God they just stared at me funny and just left it alone.

Just had breast reduction surgery yesterday! I won't know for a while whether it will have an impact on my FM. But I look forward to not be carrying around bowling balls anymore!

Anytime you have trauma to soft tissue it aggravates FM, so no it wouldn't ease it and it would temporarily make it worse in that area of your body. But the surgery would very definitely help you if you have back pain...jilly
