Can costochondritis be caused by leaky old implants?

October 11, 2018
Asked By:hurting62 in Phoenix, AZ

My implants are 20+ years old. Besides not looking so great (one smaller) other one misshapen, I haven't had pain. Three months ago I started having severe pain under my right breast (misshapen one) extending around the rt side and back. I was recently diagnosed with costochondritis and am on Napraxon 1000mg daily. I had many tests first which all came back neg, including an 3D Mammo. No relief yet but its only been a few days. I am waiting for consultation with breast surgeon. I am 62.
