After a body massage I have pain under and around my implants. Did the massage or laying on my belly hurt my implants?

Asked By:Beesgirl in Metairie, LA

I had a fully body massage yesterday. I didn't feel pain during the massage but laying on my belly towards the end I was starting to feel a little discomfort. A few hours later I continued to feel sore and pain. It feels like it is under and around my implants. I actually can press on my ribs closest to under my breast and feel the pain there and along my sternum. I have saline filled implants, under the muscle and they were put in 4 years ago. They are still soft to the touch and moveable.
