Posted under Breast Implants q&a

I had breast augmentation and am now experiencing hand and arm numbness whenever I run. What could be the cause?

I got breast implants a year and a half ago (300cc under the muscle). I took 4 mos off running, started back slowly and then to my normal distances. Ever since my breast aug I have been having numbness in my arms and fingers when I get past a certain distance in my runs. It started at 6 miles but has been progressing and now will go numb if I run as little as 4. What could be causing this? The timing correlates with the breast implants but I can’t find any information on why this would occur.
