50 Years. Painful Muscle Down To Breast When Lifting The Arm, Sore Muscles In Back. Have Very Big Breasts. Can Surgical Reduction Of Breast Size Considered?

I have very big breasts and is small built. 50 Years old. for 4 years already, I cannot move furniture, push or pull an object of even 4 to 5 kg and running my fingers from the hollow that forms- when lifting up my arm - down to my breast, is painful all along that muscle. This is the case with both my right and left sides. What is this muscle called, and will it not recover?
Getting sore muscles in my back, right behind my breasts, from around 15h00 in the day, is also a daily thing. I consider having my breasts made smaller. What is your opinion?

hi
i understand your suffering..
pain in the chest and upper abdominal muscles and shoulder muscles(pectorals,lats,intercostals,spinatus,deltoidsetc..)
consult an orthopaedician and try knowing the cause of the pains
because all these pains may not be due to heavy breasts alone and try conservative,pain killers,wt reduction,physiotherapy,muscle strengthening
take nutritionist suggestions also..

and inspite of these if you are not relieved of the problem
reduction mammoplasty can be done by plastic surgeons after assessing your gen.health condition..but surgery should be last resort...
