I Am 5 Weeks Post Op Breast Augmentation, And Have Had Severe Pain Since. What's The Cause? (photo)

sundiegocal
I had severe pain on my left breast that was caused by the stretching of the nerves, inflammation around the nerves, and swelling. I was prescribe to take steroids which alleviate most of the pain but I currently still feel that my left breast is still very sensitive (more pain and swelling) when I move minimal such as driving or washing dishes. When I rise up from my sleep, I can feel a some pain when the implant is moving downards. Could I Have hematoma? I am afraid to have capsular contracter
