Got my Noogleberry ordered and I'm hoping it comes tomorrow or Friday at the latest but in the meantime, I was wondering if anyone came across my problem and what they did about it... Or if anyone has some suggestions.
I've been using Brava for about 6 weeks now and about the first or second week in, I noticed some pain between my breasts in the sternum area. I ignored it for a few days but it kept getting worse. After taking a good look at things, I noticed a bump that kind of feels like a broken rib or something. I'm not to familiar with where the ribs might appear if they break so I'm not sure WHAT it is. I didn't notice it until I started using Brava which makes me think maybe I cracked something while pushing too hard on the Brava domes. I really doubt that though because the silicone padding is pretty thick... I suppose it could be possible.
I WAS playing a lot of sports lately like football but you would think I would have noticed if I fell and broke my sternum, lol.
What I'm wondering is if anyone has noticed something like this form after starting any pressure therapy like Brava, NB, BB, etc. I was going to just try the NB when it came and see how painful it was but I'm curious as to if anyone else ran into this problem or if I am alone.
I know the correct answer is to go see a doctor but I just don't have the time for that right now, (working some serious overtime until January), and I don't want to stop treating because that means I will have wasted the 6 weeks I've already had to endure. (And it has been rough. Not because of the sternum pain but because wearing this crap for 10 hours a day is annoying. In fact - I got the NB in the first place because I couldn't keep up the 10 hour minimum and wanted to supplement it with something during the day.)
Thank you for the feedback anyone! I've included a picture... it looks small but if you look between the breasts and a little to the right, you can see it sticking out a bit, (along with the rash I'm developing from the Brava-recommended adhesive helper. Ugh.)
