Rib pain? And bra wires?
So i have really bad rib pain along my imf after wearing a bra for 6 to 8 hours, sometimes worse than others , most of the time under the smaller of my breasts. When I first noticed I went to a doc with a cat scan and everything ,thinkiing perhaps my ribs were being damaged or internal bleeding but there was nothing. I eventually found the support to make me feel comfortable for at least 11 hours (most days) in an ewa m bra. But still had minor pain here and there ( also have to rig a suspender between the shoulder straps to keep them closer together and from falling off my shoulder) . Today i bent to pick up this guys wallet that he hadnt noticed he dropped and i heard a snap. Later I found that i had snapped the wire under my smaller breast in half , uggh there goes my eighty dollar bra investment .by the end of a 6 hour day I was holding my bra wire away from my body to withstand it till I could get home and free the girls and constantly hold the one up so no pressure was on my rib.
Anyone please ,anything to help ,even just if its a what if , or a simple diet change . Even if it's a take the surgery plunge answer .
I'm half crying and contemplating a reduction surgery if my insurance will pay for it even if I haven't had kids yet.
Wish bras were made of silicone in varied densities

Ewa will replace a broken wire, so you won't be out the $80 for the bra at least.
Do you happen to have a flared rib on that side? I have a rib that sticks out right at my IMF which causes discomfort at times.
Have you tried placing a comfort barrier between your underwire and the ribs?

Another solution would be trying a larger band to lessen the tension against the ribs, though that may decrease support...
Did you try to add padding on your smaller side? I have the same issue when my cups are too large. It feels like all the tension from band is transferred through the wires into my ribs.
