Pain after silicone injections on butt?

I had 1000cc's of silikon1000 injection into the buttocks 2 yrs. ago. Then last summer 1000cc's of adatosil5000 injected into the buttocks I had no problem but about 3 months later I still have this slight pain in the right buttock. It’s not too painful; I could sit on it for long. I only feel it like when I try to touch my toes.

I did an X-ray and nothing came back. What do you think I should do? Another test, maybe? There is no lump, redness nor marks. Might it be an infection or went in muscle?
