In this episode we cover breast injuries and breast pain, including how common it is, why breast injuries in particular go under-reported, plus what you can do to help, such as wearing a correct sports bra and tracking breast pain throughout your cycle.

We also cover how to stay motivated during periods of injury and why doing research in females is so hard, and the areas which need more attention (all!)
