Back Pain - Scoliosis or heavy breasts causing back pain?

Scoliosis or heavy breasts causing back pain?

I am 17 and I have the worst back pain everyday, usually if I stand or sit in the same position for a long time. I have severe scoliosis and had a spinal fusion 7 years ago. I also am a 34DD/DDD. I am 5'4" and wear a size 6 pants. Is my back pain caused from my breast or scoliosis? Do you think a breast reduction would help the pain?

i think its both. i hav just a lil bit of scoliosis and small boobs and my back hurts. yes i think it would help majorly. talk to your doctor about the two and get their opinion. good luck!
It may be a combination, but your breast are not helping the situation. Please talk to your doctor about this. A breast reduction for your size and because your back can not take the extra weight may be exactly what you need. Good Luck.
I would have to suspect that its a combination of both that are causing the pain - in the meantime, something you could try to improve the pain from the back is yoga - there are actually DVD's out for yoga for people with scoliosis, and many iyengar certified instructors would know how to accommodate the poses for your spine condition. Check out amazon - they sell the dvd I know of, and have suggested to many (and they like it). try it for 6 months then see what you think.... A breast reduction might help, but its a one time thing - so make that the last option you try
