Asked By:hdiane in Little Rock

I have breast implants a week and half ago. My back was hurting tremendously and my husband was trying to help stretch and he pulled my arms too far back. I felt immediate severe pain on the inside in between both breasts like something was tearing. Since I have been in quite a bit of pain in both breasts and in my ribs all the way around. I have no bruises and some swelling. They both appear to have shrunk quite a bit and dropped. Have I damaged something in the pocket or stretched it to far?
