3 years post op, burning pain and sensitive breasts. Could this be a ruptured implant or nerve pain?

Genius598
I had a breast augmentation 3 years ago with silicone implants. Since the procedure I’ve had on and off burning pain in the left breast but recently it hasn’t gone away, I’ve had it for a few months. My breasts look symmetrical and no changes to the shape, it also feels uncomfortable to sleep on and while exercising and can feel sensitive to touch. Could this be a ruptured implant or nerve pain ??
