See Doctor: Unfortunately, there is not enough information in your question to provide you with a precise or meaningful answer. Keep in mind that breast reduction surgery does tend to alleviate some discomfort associated with proportionately large breasts' strain on neck, back and shoulders; full relief may not be achieved however. See your primary care doctor for more accurate diagnosis and advice.

If the breast size: Was reduced signficantly, this would make me think that the back pain was due to something else, other than the breasts. I would recommend you see your family doctor, and see if a referral to an orthopedist is in order.
