I've worn my binder once in about three weeks, but I am still having some pain in the right side of my chest. I think it is related to the back pain I've got from lugging around a 5000 LB backpack (not really, but pretty heavy for me, I'm little) all week this time, but at this rate I'll never be able to bind again, and if that's the case, well, I might as well just, y'know, forget it all and give up and throw myself off a cliff. Well, not really, things are getting better, but the binding is my biggest problem now.

Do y'all think a different style of binder would help? I wear a double-front compression shirt now, which does not work anymore (pain, discomfort, pushes the boys together, etc.). I was thinking of trying a tri-top, but I don't want to waste my money if it's just going to sit in a drawer like my other ones are doing. And if I can't bind, I've got to find a better solution than sports bras and baggy shirts. I have a rather large chest and it feels friggin heavier every day. I've got to do something but I just don't know what. Help...

Im fairly small chested and for about the first two weeks my binders killed me, I couldnt wait to get home and rip them off, I was real dispaointed because they looked so well on and I didnt want to have to not wear them anymore. They made me shoulders brusie up and made my chest ache like nothing else. But after about 2 weeks and a few washes - now I barely notice I have one on and they bind just as well. I think it was my body just getting used to it.

That being said I still cant wait for Top Surgery
