A young woman has been forced to rely on Centrelink payments after excruciating pain from her large breasts rendered her unable to work.
Sydney woman Nim Murphy says her 12HH breasts inflict so much physical pain she is often left motionless, unable to even roll over in bed.
The 27-year-old is currently awaiting breast reduction surgery but due to her lack of private health insurance, faces a waiting list in the public system that she says may take years.
Murphy told A Current Affair her breasts have made her feel as though she can’t progress in life until she receives the surgery.
“Everything feels like it’s on pause until I feel like it can happen,” she said.

For goodness sake Medicare, put her on the priority list for a reduction already! The sooner she has the op, the sooner she is recovered and can return to work. It's false economy to leave her stranded on Centrelink benefits just to save a bit of money on healthcare, it would be cheaper in the long run for the taxpayer to get her better ASAP.
I am a 10JJ and I can sometimes get upper back pain but have worked really hard on exercising and strength training to build up my back and core muscles. A professional personal trainer should be able to guide this lady and perhaps help her relieve some of her pain by building up strength.
A rookie mistake would be thinking that to do exercise would be walking/running or something. Gravity is not in your side and you could get black eyes hahaha. Perhaps she could try water aerobics for low impact cardio so that her bust feels a little more weightless than out of the water.
Also food/diet makes up the majority of weight loss efforts. I have no idea how this lady eats etc but if she were to lose weight, she may have some luck with reducing her bust size.
Although doesn't matter how much weight I lose, my boobs stay the same.
I would be keen to have a breast reduction but am waiting until over had kids first...also sometimes in late twenties your boobs can apparently have another growth spurt.
