Could a ruptured saline implant be the cause of my pain?

Mi_girl86
My saline implant ruptured over a yr ago. I was breast feeding so I put it off. 6months ago I started having a lot of pain in armpits. After MRI ct scan and u/t they found swollen lymph nodes. my inflammation levels in my blood were spiked. Also have pain/tenderness all over my body. I feel like I lost all of my strength and am so tender that whenever someone touched me I'm in pain. Could this be all related to the implant? Do I need the capsule removed in surgery when I get them removed?
