Last week, I noticed that my right breast feels painful and is more difficult to move within the pocket. It's still relatively soft, except for the top part. I consulted with my plastic surgeon, and he mentioned it could be an early stage of capsular contracture (CC) and prescribed me Singulair. However, I'm now experiencing tingling pain in my right arm, sometimes severe. I'm not sure how much longer I can tolerate it. If the CC progresses, I want to have my implants removed. Apart from taking ibuprofen, is there anything else I can do for the pain? Could wired bras be exacerbating the issue? I'm also performing massages as advised.
Thank you for sharing your question and photograph, and I apologize for the difficulties you are experiencing during your recovery. While singulair can be used for early capsular contractures, it often returns once the medication is discontinued. I recommend notifying your surgeon about your symptoms and issues so they can evaluate the cause of your radiating pain. Without more information on your medical history and an in-person examination, it is challenging to provide definite recommendations.
Damage to the intercostobrachial cutaneous nerve can cause radiating or numb upper inner arm pain. Capsular contracture, which is connected to the nerve, could also be contributing to your symptoms. I suggest discussing these concerns with your plastic surgeon for further evaluation and guidance. Best regards.
Singulair and anti-inflammatories may be used to treat possible capsular contracture and discomfort. It is important to follow up with the plastic surgeon and explore conservative measures before considering drastic actions.
