I’m almost 2 wks p.o, B/L with implants under the muscle and about 4 days ago I lifted myself up with a little too much force I assume and I felt my left implant move? muscle or something move. Since then I’ve been having a feeling as if something is poking me towards my cleavage area on the left breast only. Nothing feels or looks abnormal. Just painful/uncomfortable. My Dr is in another state so it’s hard to go back to him to take a look at it. What could it be? What can I do? Would it resolve itself?
