Any additional information on the degradation of poly l lactic acid? I have over 20 or 30 nodules ad well as granulomas. Any help, legally, or medically is appreciated. Also the poly l lactic acid travels within my body. I see in my knees, legs, feet, arms, wrists, and of course all over my face. I take pictures and you can literally see it travel day to day. It moves or travels to what appears to be joints or end of bones i.e., elbows, wrists, fingers, etc.
