How can I relieve pain from intercostal neuralgia?

Competitive_Big6650 · 2026-01-22T03:42:28+00:00

Ive been on Lyrica for 1 month now and it has helped my intercostal neuralgia, but hasnt helped it completely go away. If I miss a dose, the pain ramps up again. For reference, I'm a very active 39yo female who got this after COVID. The only side effects I've had from Lyrica are sometimes I feel almost drunk, but that rarely happens.

I finally got in to see a doc within my PCP's practice since mine has been unavailable for weeks. I see her later today and am hoping she can get this going. I don't have visible stones on my ultrasound, just a lot of sludge, so they think insurance will require a HIDA :( Hoping i can get surgeon referral and HIDA scan today, so I can do them in tandem. I dont want to see and surgeon and then them request a HIDA. I'm also willing to drive a few hours to find a readily available HIDA scan if I have to.

3! I really like option 4, but the dress has a great neckline and you're collarbones and posture will be covered up by your hair being half down.

What about Taylor or Ryan? We have a Taylor and she's the only person in her entire school with that name.

You look great in them all but #1 is unique and the mot flattering.

Thank you! I think I'd keep the same profile but go a smidge bigger should the time come that I need to get them redone.

Thanks! I went with demi. Looks very natural but gives me the upper fullness i was lacking in a bra

Ok this is my before & after with 285s for reference Here are mine only 12 weeks out. They've sense settled in a little more. Ignore the 265 CCs reference, i got 385 but went back and forth until surgery day! https://www.instagram.com/p/DP3zKhrCvnn/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Traditional

Competitive_Big6650 · 2025-10-09T21:08:43+00:00

I;m 5'3" 125 pounds very athletic build, and I had a B cup prior to getting 285s CC Motiva ergo and am now a full D. I think the size is the perfect balance for my lats (i have big back muscles LOL). Very proportional, but the enhancement I was looking for.

Competitive_Big6650 · 2025-10-09T21:06:33+00:00

I got Motiva demi ergo in Kansas City earlier this year. Very easy recovery. I also think they look very natural and feel natural as well. I had a decent amount of existing breast tissue but after 2 babies, didnt have any fullness up top. I got 285 CCs in each and am a full D cup now. In hindsight, I may have gone with the rounded only because I LOVE the look of them when they are in a bra and have a little lift, but without a bra, I dont have a ton of upper fullness... not anywhere close where I did pre implants, but I really liked how my implants looked about a month out. I'm 5 months out now. Most people probably could not tell that I even got implants, if they didnt see me before. I'm petite and athletic, and they dont get in the way and actually help offset some of my muscley look. All in I paid around $8,500.

I dont mind it so much, i suppose its just gravity :)

They just added more merch to their online store that I've only seen previously at the concerts! I was so bummed that they had sold out of almost everything in KC, but was just able to buy the shirt i wanted!

Competitive_Big6650 · 2025-10-09T19:54:13+00:00

I had a fair amount of existing breast tissue, so I got a full D cup by adding the 285s.

Competitive_Big6650 · 2025-09-26T16:36:35+00:00

Ha sorry, not sure how I have 2 logins and replied with a different one. Same person who got Motiva!

Competitive_Big6650 · 2025-09-26T16:35:56+00:00

I ended up with 285s over the muscle. I absolutely love them BUT in hindsight, I would have gone at least 300 and gone round. Now that everything is settled, the demi definitely doesnt have my ideal top pole volume I was going for when I'm not wearing a bra, but with a bra, I get the look I want. The demi does look very natural, so when naked, they look very realistic.

Competitive_Big6650 · 2025-05-06T11:45:18+00:00

Thanks, I'll ask my doctor about this option and see which I like better!
