About 2 1/2 years ago I started developing neck, shoulder and upper back pain. I been to a physical therapy, chiropractor and had injections. I'm now concerned that my problem may be my breast implants. I've had gel implants since 2007. I'm fairly small boned and my bra size is a 32D. Is it possible that my implants could be the source of my shoulder and upper back pain?
