Had the pain not gone away by 10 days out I was going to see one, but it went away and hadn't returned until this ride. I might have to look someone up and have it checked out. <br />Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346020257901575574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957257570347188011.post-3627020440524675792014-12-02T10:25:18.116-08:002014-12-02T10:25:18.116-08:00I had issues with my shoulders when I first starte...I had issues with my shoulders when I first started wearing the Equestrian Sports Bra (designed for large breasted women) and riding. The weight comes across the top of my shoulders from holding up 30 lbs of boob. <br /><br />You might also seek out chiropractic attention and see if there is a slip or dislocation in your spine or shoulder due to the accidental dismount Gem provided you with. I had one just below my shoulder blades that really radiated pain that once it was put back in place, the pain disappeared.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00834640625999522559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957257570347188011.post-24200746292083660052014-12-02T08:08:15.021-08:002014-12-02T08:08:15.021-08:00I personally have not had issues with sports bras ...I personally have not had issues with sports bras for distance riding, and it's the only thing I wear for riding. (As in, I refuse to wear regular bras; I get sore with those.) I'm small (36A; can take a B in some bras that run smaller) so I don't need anything with great amounts of support. My favorite sports bras are Champion brand; I buy them at Target & I like the double-layered ones with the wide straps. They have the traditional racerback design. So they really are nothing special. I use the same ones for running and working out.<br /><br />I have had that neck/inbetween the shoulder blades soreness but it's been from my safety vest: if I haven't used it in a long time, I'll be sore the first long ride I wear it, and if I HAVE been using it consistently, I'll be sore the first long ride I DON'T wear it, in both instances due to small posture changes. Maybe you're holding your shoulders differently when you wear the sports bra for riding?<br /><br />Nicole Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09817619834026667737noreply@blogger.com
