I did push-ups at the gym I got a sharp pain in the right side of my chest, side/top of my right breast near my Armpit?

Question

I did push-ups at the gym on Friday and later found out that my arm position was incorrect. Saturday, I got a sharp pain in the right side of my chest, side/top of my right breast near my Armpit. It is still bothering me, not really painful but awkward, tingly and uncomfortable. I got breast implants 7 years ago. Do you think this is a muscle strain or pinched nerve? Or is there a complication with the implant?

Christopher J. Davidson, MD, FACS · Answer

Sounds like you strained or pulled a muscle and that there is nothing wrong with your implants but no harm in checking with your PS.

Ryan Neinstein, MD, FRCSC · Answer

If the shape of your breast has not changed I would not be too concerned over the implant, you likely have muscle injury

Brooke R. Seckel, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

Thank you for your question.  I agree with others that your pain is most likely muscle strain and if your implant size and shape has not changed it is unlikely you have damaged your implant.However it is always best to be examined by your plastic surgeon to make certain.
