Bras cause me pain as well, especially around my ribs. If my pain is really bad, a bra causes it to radiate down my back and sides. I recently bought a tunic camisole that has a built in bra shelf. For me, it's much more comfortable. I ended up buying 2 more and plan to buy more over time. I usually wear the shirts by themselves but I also wear them under other shirts as a replacement for a regular bra. I'm very small chested so I don't need the support of a bra. I just want to, well, keep my nipples from showing (sorry if too much info). The bra shelf does that well.

I take my bra off as soon as I walk in the door. I don't think it causes more back pain but it is just uncomfortable. I found a bra that is really comfortable (for a bra). Its from lane Bryant. Its cacique no wire balconette bra. Look on lane Bryant site to see if it comes in your size. Its a plus size store but they have some smaller sizes. They run bogo sales too since they are about $35 but worth every penny.

If I ditched my bra I would probably be arrested! Lol! But like @A MyFibroTeam Member, mine comes off the minute I walk in the door.

@A MyFibroTeam Member. Get some rubber gloves for your husband to wear to put medicine on your back. I wear them too so I don't rub my eyes with medicine that will burn them. I learned the hard way. Lol

That’s so crazy - I just had an echo this weekend and everybody looked at me like I was crazy when I said it hurt so badly. So comforting in a way to hear other people’s stories. Makes me feel less crazy
