The best way to know what is causing the pain in your mothers breast is to go to the doctor. Some symptoms of breast cancer are: Inverted nipples (when the nipples turn inside out) , uneven breast ( look in the mirror see if your breast appear the same in shape and size, I’m not talking about for vanity reasons but for medical), bloody discharge (usually painless, but doesn’t have to be so) and an orange peel appearance (when the skin texture changes and resembles that of an orange like appearance). Hope this helps.

She should get to her doctor and get a mammogram as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it is harder sometimes to diagnose breast cancer in women with implants. A bump or a lump does not automatically mean cancer, it could be fibrous tissue, an ingrown hair, infected mammary duct, or calcifications, but she needs to get to a doctor to rule all of that out.
