I had breast reconstruction 6 years ago with silicone implants. No problems until developed burning pain after stretch. Rupture?

Asked By:socba in Grand Blanc, MI

The stretch was in kneeling with arms out on floor and bringing chest toward floor. I’ve done this before but went a little farther this time. No pain at the time but it developed a few sec after I stopped. Pain was located in center of right breast (area of scar). My surgeon retired and I can’t get in to see another one for 4 months. Do I need to seek more urgent care?
