Is wearing a bra painful for anyone else?

My breasts are so sore that I've gotten to where I just cannot hardly wear a bra. When I do it makes the pain in my shoulders and neck almost unbearable. Around the house I just wear a cami under my tshirt but when I go out I feel that I must wear a bra and I can hardly wait to get home and take it off.

I guess you would say it's my muscles that are sore and hurting. Normally I have pain in my shoulders and neck most of the time but when I put a bra on it really makes the pain worse. You would think that the support of a bra might take some of the pressure off your shoulders and neck but not for me. And I'm a big gal so I wear a good support bra.

I find bras painful too... I tend to wear thick tops, or otherwise wear padded sports bras.

Hoping, what bra? Mama needs something more comfortable for her girls..

My back hurts so bad I'm usually in tears by the time I can take it off! My pain is across my back where the bra band is & all of the sports bras or shelf bras built in to tshirts hurt as bad as bras, so the only thing I can do is wear a bra with a band that is too big, or on a bad day I just go without. At home I never wear one, & I'm a D cup, but it's not worth the pain. I tend to wear oversized shirts & I'm 69 yrs. old so I figure what the heck, I'll probably never see those critics I see again!

It's the last thing I put on before I leave the house and the first thing to come off as soon as I step back into my home. I hate them!

Pain at times, but mostly when my gastritis flares up, and the elastic digs into my rib/stomach area.

  Major ouch!!

I was just telling my husband how my bra is hurting me. I just bought the second new bra in one month. First one didn't work out either. I want to take mine off too. So I totally understand! Lol

I've had tons of bra pain which was greatly reduced when I stopped working (no bras at home ;) ). I get discomfort from the fabric and neck/shoulder pain and pain where the lower band rests. There is a certain irony in asking your husband to take off your bra when it's because you can't instead of for fun!

I wear a 42D-DD so I know it's especially hard for us large bosomed ladies to find something comfortable. No more underwires or pretty fabric for me. I have soft banded padded cup bras for when I need a "real bra" and a variety of sports bras for day-to-day outings. At home I don't wear one - usually wear a tank under my shirt just to keep them from being too sensitive. My latest find, at WalMart of all places, is a sports bra with spaghetti straps. The fabric is tight enough to keep the girls in place but the straps don't hold too much weight so they don't pull on my shoulders.

I hate the bra I get pain on the sides where my bra is and all around the back I get it even with out the bra but not as bad. layer ur self tank top tshirt then what ever shirt ur wearing that what someone told me but that don't work for me and my girls arnt that big. good luck in getting relief

When I have mine on I just hurt so bad across my shoulders and up my neck. It's like 'the girls' are pulling down on my shoulders and neck. You would think that wearing a bra would give support and take the pressure off. I had to wear it to church yesterday for 2 hours and I could barely make it through the service and as soon as I got in the car it came off. I've even gone through my drawer and found an old bra that is stretched out and not so tight but even that one is not getting it.

The first day that I feel like trying bras on I'm going shopping.....I've got to find something.

Underwire is less painful than the straps across my shoulders. All my bra strap tend to slip down my shoulder because they are so loose.

I bought a genie bra but it wouldn't go pass my arm pits. I'm a 48D and they apparently don't make them my size. :-(
