Hi, I had silicone implants in 2008 which are over the muscle, and one week ago my right breast became hard and swollen overnight while nursing my three month old. My gp diagnosed mastitis even though there is no redness and put me on antibiotics. There is no improvement, and I'm wondering if it might be blocked somehow, or if it's capsular contraction? Should I stop nursing on that breast and see if swelling will go?
