9 years post op. saline breast implants. Having severe symptoms. What tests would rule out this being caused by implants?

Asked By:akgettingbetter in Anchorage, Alaska

In 2008 I had saline implants placed. A year after I had them placed I had pains under my breasts. Now a burning sensation around my ribcage and new onset arthritis in my thorasic area (I’m 32). My eosinophils and monocytes keep jumping, developed a severe reaction to diflucan (SJS) , my ANA is 1:1280, raynauds, bounding pulse, low grade fevers. No one can figure out what’s wrong. My labs don’t quite equate lupus or RA. If this is caused by my breast implants, what tests would rule this out?
