Old Implants, New Pain. Should I be concerned? Generally very active but did begin a different type of workout prior to this.

Asked By:shawnao in Sanger, California

I got saline implants in '05. I experienced some nerve damage; my nipples & a quarter-sized area to the outer upper region of either nipple was numb for some time. Over the years the numbness resolved & I regained almost full sensation. For the past 2 months I've been experiencing extreme tenderness in this same area and also what feels like possibly nerve pain deep behind my nipple. Any type of touch is intolerable. It is not improving. Shape/size unchanged. What is going on?
