Why is there pain in left breast a year after Breast Augmentation?

I am 22 years old and had my BA August of 2009. About 5 days ago, I started feeling dull, fairly pain in my left breast. It feels like its more inside rather than close to the skin. Now my shoulder is quite tense and I sort of feel it near my armpit as well. I feel no lumps or extreme hardness, nor do I see any bruises. I was playing with my younger sibling before and getting tickled, could I attribute the pain to a possible injury from that? I thought it might've gone away by now?

Capsular contracture can occur at anytime after breast augmentation and is the phenomenon where the scar tissue surrounding the implant begins to tighten, thicken, and distort the implant. This can be associated with pain. Many other issues may cause pain such as swelling during your period, cysts in the breast, or lesions in the breast. I... more

Breast pain after augmentation

Usually when the breast starts to hurt so long after augmentation, it is usually related to the development of capsular contracture. Just because you have implants doesn't mean that every symptom is related to them. You may have just had enough of a trauma with your horseplay, or you might have an inflammation in the breast itself. If it doesn't get better on its own (maybe with some icing) in a week or two, then you should have it checked out by either your primary care... more
