Old breast implants & pain

[Oldnursemaid]

I have saline breast implants over the muscle. They will be ten yrs old in march. over the past six months nearly every bone & joint in my body has started hurting. I'm having chest wall pain and if I don't wear a bra every second, it feels as if my left breast is actually pulling the muscles away from my rib cage. My left breast also feels bruised on top. I don't think it's changed size, and I don't feel a lump. Could the implant be leaking but appear unchanged due to swelling and inflammation?

It sounds like that is what is happening. I dont have implants but i have watched alot of implant shows. They say you should after 10 years almost get redone or even have checked out for that matter. Good luck

so the pain is everywhere not just in your chest? i would definitly go to the Dr and see what they say, if its been going on for 6 months you need to get a check up done... its not something thats gonna go away from the sounds of it...

Pain is never normal.  Leaking implants can cause autoimmune reactions which can cause arthritis symptoms.  Better to have them checked, if possible by the surgeon who put them in.
