Nerve pain after 3 years of breast augmentation -- under the muscle silicone implant.

farnaz31Apr 23, 2017
I have had my breast augmentation about 3 years ago , 2 years ago I started to have terrible eye pain and headaches, after 6 months I had an injection for occipital neuralgia as all tests were done. Now I still have pain under my arm, it feels worst when I don't have a proper posture , it has become very sensitive. Can it be related to my implants? Have they caused nerve damaged? Thank you
