I had my silicone implants inserted back in the fall of 2016. Last week, I began having a burning pain in my breast after jogging. It has slowly gotten worse causing me to take 200 mg of ibuprofen every 5 hours. I have to sleep upright becsuse lying on my side causes pain. There is no swelling or lumps in the right breast. What is wrong?
