Weird Pains Here & There since BMX

Shannon-- The first year after my implant exchange sounds a lot like yours. I had rib pain just below  the right implant that lasted for months. A scan showed nothing.  Then my lower back would ache-- again, nothing.  My dr. insisted it was just part of being middle-aged (43), but of course every ache and pain is scary.  On the other side, I sometimes felt like I was having a heart attack-- the implant pressed so heavily on my chest and ached.  I think some of the rib and back pains were due to the implants-- just too much extra weight on my frame (I went from a half an A cup to almost a C-- foolish now in hindsight)-- and my body was out of alignment. I started pilates-- very basic level-- and that has helped with the back issues. Sometimes just carrying a  heavy bag or groceries or making a weird movement will lead to these pains again-- esp. the rib pain.  But you are smart to get anything new or unusual checked out-- peace of mind is key.-- Julie

Hi Shannon  Just wanted to say that I had a BMX 1 year ago and did not do breast implants and I have had all kinds of pain and issues throughout the entire year.  I have had seroma issues and hematoma issues.  I think the surgery itself can cause these types of things and depending on your current health and other issues will eventually iron itself out.  I currently am dealing with a lump that I have had for the last three months and seroma which comes and goes depending on the amount of exercise I am getting.  I am really trying to lose a few pounds but have spent the the whole summer walking and doing what exercise I can and only lost 4 lb.s, my doctor says I am not very patient but she doesn't get how hard it is just to have done that.  I don't take pain meds. or any other meds. unless I have to.  I do have high blood pressure. This lump I have is very worrisome, I had my regular doctor look at it and she said she didn't think it was anything.  I really wanted her to at least send me for some kind of test to just make sure, then the therapist looked at it and said the same thing. I tried to get an appt with my surgical doctor and she is on maternity leave and the nurse put me off.  It is hard to deal with these things on a day to day basis but we do it all the time.  I hope you get this resolved and wish you calming thoughts.  It is a struggle every day because we have to worry about the outcome of any thing different now.  Hugs and Peace to you.

I definitely had aches and pains as well. My ribcage under my implant especially. When I asked my plastic surgeon about it, he said it was likely due to the alloderm matrix which was stitched in near those ribs. The pain has since subsided. Did you have alloderm by chance? That might explain the rib pain.
