I’m almost 10 years post breast augmentation and I’m sure I’ve had minor nerve damage since day one (odd sensations, minor pain) in my left breast. Recently the pain become proper pain and I saw my gp and was referred to breast specialist clinic. Ultra sound was done: no rupture and no issues. That was about 8 weeks ago and the last few days I’ve had pain that’s kept me awake. My mind is racing.

Answer: Possible causes for post operative pain I'm sorry to hear you are having pain. Nerves that are cut or stretched during surgery can heal in ways that can lead to pain. Either they are hypersensitive and "fire" without good reason, or they can be surrounded by scar tissue that triggers constant pain. If you can put your finger in one spot and "recreate" the pain, it may be possible to treat the area with a steroid injection. I have done this a couple times in my practice with success.

Answer: Breast augmentation If you have had pain since you got your implants, I would remove them. There’s no guarantee, and I suspect there will be no relief, but at least you will know it’s not the implants causing the problem. If you take the implants out in the problem is resolved then you’ll be happy. If you take the implants out and the problem is not resolved then you will know to look somewhere else.
