Title: Binders and collarbone pain?
Post by: insideontheoutside on December 20, 2013, 10:08:15 PM
I only wear loveboat Air velcro binders and I don't even wear them very tightly, however over the course of the last 6 months or so I've had off and on collarbone pain and can't really trace it to an injury source or repetitive thing I'm doing to aggravate that area. So I thought I'd ask if anyone else who binds has ever experienced random collarbone pain.

Do you wear it while your sleeping or for long periods of time? I'll notice my collarbone will hurt after sleeping with my binder on and sleeping on my side curled up.

I don't have any pain in my collarbone, but I wear it low.

Maximum time I might wear it would be around 10 hours during the day. Don't wear it every day (maybe 3-4 times a week), don't wear it tight and have never slept in it. But it could be that just wearing it the amount I do is causing it.

I have no idea, I'm guessing maybe they fit oddly on you or something, my only guess. I had zero trouble with them and wore them up to 12 hours at a time with no pain (not recommending this), mostly wore about 6-7 hours.
