Muscle pain vs. capsular contracture? Achy pain in right breast at 8 months post op, off and on, in one spot.

Asked By:newbie1015 in Boston, MA

Under the muscle saline implants done 8 months ago. Very soft and move freely when massaged. About 2 weeks ago I started getting an achy-pain in the right breast, inner lower portion of the breast in one spot. I feel it when I reach for something, or bend forward or even if I inhale very deeply. Always in the same spot, that dull achy feeling. I'm getting very worried, but besides this isolated ache, everything else seems fine with no tightness. Likely muscle related or capsular contracture?
