Salt retention concerns - I've dislocated my breasts out of their sockets. Can this be fixed?

sunny0811Jul 25, 2025
I have salt retention in both of my breasts. I just had a mammogram and don't have any lumps or cysts. But I've dislocated my breasts out of their sockets and now they are throbbing all day. I do have an appointment with Duke Cancer Center. Is this something that can be fixed?
