Could my Chin Implant be Causing Fatigue and Low Endurance if it Were Infected?

Six years ago I,ve had a chin implant. Sometimes it feels thight and tingling.The recent years I developed a bad health condition, consisting of fatigue and poor endurance. I,ve had my blood tested on several items but nothing was found. Also I have no fevers. Could it still be possible that the implant is causing a constant triggering of the immunesystem causing these complaints?

Fatigue and Low Endurance Secondary to Chin Infection

A chronic infection could cause fatigue and low endurance, but there is no physical sign or symptom that indicates you have a problem with your chin implant. For example, there is no pain, tenderness, or swelling of the chin. I'm sorry, but a thorough medical examination is the best way to make a diagnosis.

I wanted to comment because I have experienced the same thing. I have had my implant for 12 years and recently have tighness, pain and fatique. I have seen 7 doctors and tomorrow will be the 8th. No one finds a sign of infection but I feel lousy. I will let you know what Dr. #8 says. I'm wondering if it could be auto immune becuase of a foreign body. If it didn't cost $5,500 to remove the implant I probably would have done so already.
