This post terrifies me to share publicly. But I know also realize that me putting myself out there and being completely vulnerable will benefit so many. I want to share with you how I improved two of the things that matter most to me in life: my singing and my health.
I suffered from debilitating tension headaches for years to the point that I was unable to workout regularly. Working upper body was a painful experience that could land me in bed for several days. I also had excess tension in my singing and couldn’t figure out how to loosen my neck at all, and I was holding a lot of tension in my chest.
I went to physical therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, took medication, and tried essential oils. Some things alleviated my symptoms for a bit, but nothing really got rid of the pain.
The consensus of the medical professionals I saw was that the size of my chest was to blame.
I contemplated surgery for years. Choosing to go under the knife is not an easy decision. But based on the severity of my condition, surgery seemed like the best option.
So about a year ago, I walked into a plastic surgeon’s office and got a consultation for a breast reduction. He agreed it was medically necessary, and I had the surgery last June.
I went in the morning of surgery with a horrible headache. I wanted to cry.
I have barely had a headache since I woke up.
Getting a breast reduction was the best decision I ever made for my health because it gave me my life back.
I can exercise without fear now.
My posture is exponentially better.
My neck has less tension and my singing has improved. I no longer hold massive amounts of tension in my chest.
Surgery should always be a last resort, but sometimes it can be an answer to years of prayer. It certainly was for me.
It gave me back my life.
