Recurring breast pain 7 years after getting silicone implants

Pioneering92927
I had silicone implants instead 7 years ago. In February 2023 I began experiencing excruciating right breast pain from the nipple to my back which radiated to my arm and clavicle. I took antiinflammatory meds, muscle relaxers, and slept upright because it hurt worse lying down. I had an MRI without contrast with no significant findings. I saw ba plastic surgeon who said that it was muscle strain. The pain finally went away. The pain retuned two weeks ago and I am still in pain. Please advise.
