Breast reductions are NOT for cosmetic purposes

Hi all,

I am just reaching out here, out of my frustration around the fact that I suffer 24/7 from pain caused by my large breasts and no insurance will cover it because they keep saying it is a cosmetic surgery (I live in the UK). This is absolutely outrageous. I'm curious if there is any way in which we could reach the ears of doctors and medical insurers to make a case for changing the classification of the procedure. They need to remove the "cosmetic" label from these procedures! Women like me suffer from back and shoulder pains, headaches and skin issues non-stop! There should be a way to take this into consideration as a medical need and NOT as a cosmetic procedure. I love the look of my boobs, I definitely don't want to reduce them because of looks, but I am in CONSTANT pain and no one seems to care. Does anyone know or have any ideas of how we could fight against this and make treating women with this condition a priority? also, who odes a reduction cost just as much as getting implants? make it make sense... I shouldn't need 10k to stop my 24/7 pain. Where am I supposed to get 10k from? And I won't even go into the NHS... they also don't give a damn.

(thank you for listening to my rant... this whole thing is really getting me sad)
