Implant Rupture, or Just Another Fibromyalgia Pain?

Silicone implants are 3 years old (3rd set). Recently started getting a pain/tenderness in my right breast at crease. It has moved around side and I have nipple pain, no discharge or lumps.

Which do you recommend, and does this sound like a rupture or just pain from chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia that I was recently diagnosed with? Worried and scared this could be the cause of my fibro pain. Your thoughts?
