Surgical Mesh In My Chest after having pectus excavatum surgery

I have had this medical mesh used on my chest where my ribs would pop up and down. I think it was caused from having pectus excavatum surgery when I was about 5 yrs old. I was the first person in Northeast Florida to have the surgery done back in 1978. I am now a 38 yr old female. The mesh has been used to keep my ribs or cartalidge from moving. I had that procedure done about 2005. Recently i have been having alot of pain under my breast where the mesh was put. It hurts to touch and just feels like they are bruised really bad and it hurts like crazy to cough. Please someone help if you have any idea or knowledge on this subject.
