Development of Mondor's disease 17 years after breast augmentation surgery?

RSMember15732
Had recent pain and soreness down side upon raising arm and sleeping on that side. Noticed a thin cordlike string that the pain followed when arm raised up, from the lower breast to outer lower abdomen. After 3 weeks, pain is lessening but vein still swollen with some tenderness. Any concerns with this occurring so long after surgery and any other similar cases seen?
