What is this pain after breast implant removal?

February 17, 2010

I had DC 23.5 year old submuscular, ruptured silicone breast implants removed on Jan. 28, 2010. I believe the implants were removed first and then the capsulectomy was done. Severe pain and bleeding post-op. 3 weeks later, I am still experiencing pain. It is located in the breast under the arm; it is quite hard. Hard to sleep on my side, and it feels hard inside. Is this muscular pain, do I need PTherapy, and how long will it last?
