Capsular contracture suddenly gone after a really hard fall. What happened?

Asked By:corthomp in Idaho, ID

Revision surgery occurred for C.C. on Nov 21,2018. By my 6 week post op appointment, my right breast had hardened and was hurting again. We set a date to evaluate it again for March. Yesterday, I was running a team of two dogs and lost control downhill when I hit a patch of thick ice. I fell so hard that I couldn’t breathe for a few minute, and I was dragged about 10 feet before the dogs stopped. When I got back on my feet, my right hard sore boob was magically soft!! What the heck happened?!
