To all female sufferers;) I have just invested in a couple of Shock Absorber bras. Got them brand new on ebay for £10 each they are about £26 in the shops. They are so easy to wear & the shoulder straps are really wide soft& don't dig in.

Hope this helps as ordinary one make me sore on my ribs & shoulders

Soft hugs..x

Thanks thats a great idea as I've been having a lot of trouble and wondering what to do, i'll look on ebay.

Just wondering was it a private seller or a company you got them from.....an if it was a company could I have the name, Thanks a lot xxxx

I was looking for a sports bra but I'm a 38F :( so not sure they come in that size?

I got a link yesterday from a lady on here but didn't think they went up to an F cup.

Isn't it a pain being a woman sometimes!!. I am fed up of looking for comfy bras because of the pain of the fibro but also because I have had surgery for breast cancer and still suffer big time with lymphoedema. I wish I could have made to measure bras as my boobs are also different sizes which makes things even more difficult. In addition I can never get cup sizes large enough for my larger breast.

Not being funny but I fail to understand why people want to have implants, I only wish I were a few sizes smaller!!.xx

I all i have been wearing the Genie Bras, it was someone on this site that put me on to them, they r great! similar to sports bra but hold you up better they range from sm upwards to xxxl maybe bigger cant remember you can get them on amazon, but noticed that asda sells them now box of 3 37 pound i found that quite reasonable as i normally get my bras from m & s.

Hey sorry to hear you all suffer with chest and bras , but at the same time comforting as I often laugh and say I wouldn't know if I was having a heart attack because the chest pains can be so sore feeling like someone is trying to pull your rib cage apart is the best way I can explain it...

Also some days wearing a bra is just plain evil and it does't stay on long......

soft hugs to all xx

I'd love to go bra-less Sue. These cheap sports bras I got 'for a test run' have been great but I need a bigger size and didn't see any but have just seen Annie's post and also Tinkerbelles so I'll definitely keep an eye out for some now.

Mine comes off every evening as soon as I've finished work.

Hugs Sue xx
