pain in implanted breasts - what is it?

[Guest guest]

I get recurring pain (still implanted) that can be described as

stinging, stabbing or tightening, made worse by laying on my side.

It's usually in the lower half of my breasts. the first time I

experienced this was in 2000, and I realize now the ps was placating

me when I called him. I thought at the time he was great as he

called me back so quickly, and while I now lived 2000 miles away.

He said it was just some scar tissue and nothing to be concerned

about (at that point I had had them 4 yrs) Anyhow, I have gone thru

phases where it is very bad for a few days, then disappears. I even

told my gynocologist 2 yrs ago, and she said it was nothing to worry

about, and said it was because I was getting older (!)

I imagine it is somewhat psychological - now that I want them out, I

notice even more discomfort - but I do feel that now I am in the

home stretch they have hit their shelf life (10 yrs)and are rapidly

changing in my body.

Has anyone experience similiar pains? is it appropriate to put heat

on them to soothe the pain?

thanks!!
