Doctor, 2004 augumentation-textured tear drop saline implants. Right breast implant suffered a blunt hit/trama and it ruptured. MRI confirmed. I thought I pulled a muscle for the last month and a half. Breast increased in size, rock hard, hurts to touch, horrible pain in chest/lung area, fatigued all day, sleeping is difficult, shooting pain in arm. What really bothers me is that breathing hurts. I can only take slow shallow breaths. Could it be an infection?
