Question

As I noticed a large lump under arm and had terrible pain and burning in my breast, implants were removed they said the lump would go away after surgery as the silicone was very close to my lungs and they couldn't remove everything.the lump under my arm is still there,should I be concerned.

I would return to your surgeon for an examination and discussion of your concern.  If it the lymph node is still causing pain or other issues it should be removed if possible.
