Could I Have Ruptured a Breast Implant Following Pneumonia? Experiencing Burning And Sharp Pain.
BeckyP1012Oct 14, 2011
My breast implants are 11 years old. For the past 5 weeks I have had pneumonia in both lungs with blunting at the left costophrenic angle on x-ray. Originally I had some pleuritic chest pain in the area of my right ribcage but this cleared up. My chest is now clear following 4 courses of antibiotics and Prednisolone, but over the last few days I have developed a severe burning sensation in my right breast, with extreme sharp pain in the same area. Could I have ruptured the implant?
