Body Aches for the Last 19 Months

sorry to hear about your pain. good luck with sx. be blessed.

You're definitely not alone in feeling that way. I've read that unless you have had capsular contracture where it leaks silicone, you don't need the capsules removed. I've had my implants for 1 year and they're coming out in 3 days. I'm not having any capsules removed since I've had no problems with the implants themselves physically. The natural capsule my body created around it will re absorb it. So will yours, don't worry. We're almost free! :)

Hi Sick of being sick! I was in the same boat and explanted just last week. I wish I had done it years ago. I had my breast implants for 17 years. I cannot begin to tell you how sick I had become before having them removed, and how much improvement I have had since having them removed. I'm going in next week for blood tests for my thyroid. I developed Hashimoto's disease after getting the implants, and my TSH levels have not been controllable with medication. The numbers have continuously increased. Before the explant, my TSH levels were over 100. I sincerely believe I will see the numbers decreasing over time now that I've removed the implants. Meanwhile, I have had a number of wonderful improvements since explanting A WEEK AGO - regained sense of smell, stopped snoring, sleep better, urinate less frequently, vertigo gone, neck/shoulder/back pain and burning are gone, night sweats gone, growing hair on my legs for the first time in years, scalp hair has stopped falling out by the handfuls, body aches gone, no strep throat or feeling of strep throat in the last week, joint aches much better - still improving, awake in the morning feeling refreshed instead of drugged and exhausted, and more. Not to mention all the cute bra options at a 34 B - as opposed to a 34 DD. I'm so happy for you that you are getting to the bottom of your issues. Pain is different for everyone, and I can only speak for myself, but I did not experience any real pain - just some discomfort on the day after. And although it has been only a week, and they are rather droopy since explant, I think my breasts are healing wonderfully and looking quite lovely. I'll create a posting with pics once I get the results from my blood tests so I can post that at the same time. Wishing you all the best with your explant and healing!
