: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Large breasts can cause musculoskeletal symptoms due to excessive weight. Reduction mammoplasty is usually covered by insurance. Wish you good health!
