Tightness, Pulling and Pain After Breast Reconstruction- What Can I Do?

maryann1156
I had reconstruction with textured silicone implants April 2011. I had continued tightness across my chest, with pulling sensations that did not get better for over 4 months. I had the implants switched for smooth silicone, and now, 2 months later I still have tightness and pulling. It feels like the muscles at top of implant just wont loosen up. I have these feelings every day, all day and am constantly aware of my implants. I am trying Singulair but so far, no beneficial result.
