I have finally discovered why I get pain when laying on my back
Well, it's taken a long time to work this out but it's hard to discover things when you wear a bra 24/7 due to the uncomfortable tugging feeling I get which actually hurts when I lay on my back. I noticed this as I was drying my hair. I was stood up leaning over to my right side & there they were...ripples on the inside of my right breast on the upper pole despite the implant being under the muscle, seriously, this has to be why I constantly feel a tugging sensation when I am braless (which isn't very often due to it feeling AWFUL) When I lay on my back (which I avoid at all costs) I have an uncomfortable tight pulling sensation in the same place, if I forget to put my big hairclip in the back of my hair to stop me rolling onto my back before I sleep I roll onto my back & it's this pain that wakes me up! I can't wait to get these horrible implants replaced. One thing is for sure, I wont be going back to that surgeon seeing as he dismissed my concerns every time, yeah they look okish, but all the other things have ruined my life & put it on hold, I haven't dated since having these inside me, time to move on! Shame he didn't put things right, after all, I was his walking advert but my friends have all gone elsewhere for their surgeries....
My consultation with Mr Adrian Richards
To put it blunt, it was horrible & went like this....
I arrived early despite getting lost. I was asked to fill in a double sided form with all the standard Q's you'd expect to be asked. Whilst I was filling in the form another lady stated at reception that she was seeing Mr Richards 'AT THE SAME TIME!?'
Unsure as to whether one of us had made a boo boo about our appointment time I asked out loud, "how does that would work if we're both seeing the same surgeon at the same time" to which she replied, "you'll be seeing a nurse first".... :/ (that didn't really explain much but....)
The other lady was called in first and walked off with a nurse and moments later I was called through with another nurse named Aggie. As I was alone in a room with Aggie I began to briefly explain to her about my issues but then Mr Richards walked into the room and introduced himself. I was so nervous talking to him. I really wanted him to be the understanding man I thought he'd be considering I had read so many good reviews about him & seen him correct so many bad surgeries or PIP implants but I felt rushed and unheard. He spent just minutes with me before asking me to get undressed and he left the room....
I had just enough time to take off my clothes and put on a gown before he returned again....He looked at my breasts and said "they're not perfect but expected them to look far worse from my explanation and that If any surgeon was to operate on me that they'd only be doing it to get my money. He said I'd be putting my self at risk of complications so I asked him what these would be and he said 'infection' (weren't those a factor in my previous surgeries too??) What about the pain I'm in DAILY?? I have to sleep with a big hair clip in the back of my head so I can't/don't roll over onto my back or I get horrendous pain under my right implant. I can't sleep on my front or I get pain in my left implant, I am constantly reminded EVERY day that my right breast has had an op, I have to extend my arm high about my head in the hope to adjust the discomfort in my right breast, sometimes when I lean forward it feels like the implant is tipping forward slightly & I have bubbles that I can bounce up & down in both breasts and my left breast is hard like a tennis ball. Why didn't he listen to everything??
BECAUSE HE WAS TOO BUSY GIVING A DOUBLE CONSULTATION WITH MYSELF AND THE OTHER LADY, **AT THE SAME TIME!!**
I was told to get dressed and that he's send Aggie back in to 'chat' with me & he then asked her if she'd go with him 'back' into the other lady's room.
I left in absolute floods of tears & I cried the whole way home. I wanted him to do my op and now I don't know who or where to go to, I didn't even wait for his nurse to come back in to speak with me, what was the point.....

It's just 2 days to go & I'm so excited to meet with Mr Adrian Richards. I'm taking all my photo's with me and a list of my problems.
