Breast pain one year after augmentation. What is going on? (Photo)

Asked By:Enthusiastic791779 in Sugar Land, Texas

I had breast augmentation in July last year. But after 6 months I started getting burning pain in my arm, and then burning pain in my clavicle and up my throat. I get palpitations and my blood pressure goes up. This is only on the one side. This pain is relieved with topical pain lotions to the breast around the sore area by the rib cage. Or taking Pregabalin, or hot/cold compresses at the rib cage. When the breast pain is relieved, so are the other symptoms! What is going on?
