3 months after getting my implants, I started having joint pain. Over the past three years, the pain grew worse and moved to my feet, hands, knees, wrists and shoulders. I was tested for RA three times and was told I didn't have it. It was not fibroid myalgia, lupus or arthritis. I also suffered from bad leg cramps, my groin lymphs swelled, I was sick more frequently and it took longer to recover, some brain fog, blurred vision and my right implant never fell into place after two revisions. I suffered daily, took tons of pills and didn't receive any answers.
I was part of an implant study group and the survey this past year asked if I experienced joint pain. It was the first question. A light bulb went off. Could this be the cause? Started doing research and asking a few doctors. Of course, most did not agree that the implants could be the cause of my pain. I heard, "It's not scientifically proven." If doctors stopped doing implants because of the possible side effects, they would not make money. I finally came across this website and I found Dr Feng. She only removes the implants, because she has seen so many people suffering. I called around June 26th and they had a cancellation for July 20th. I was able to grab that date, otherwise I would have had to wait until October 3. It has been 3 weeks and I have seen huge improvements already. It's amazing. I wanted to believe that this would help change my life back to what I had before. I literally could not exercise, walk down stairs, write. It was so painful and I was weak. I walked down my stairs yesterday with very little pain. I could put my wedding ring on, which I haven't worn in years. My lymphs are no longer swollen and I have more energy. I can't deny the results after having them removed. She was able to reconstruct my muscle underneath and I did not need a breast lift. My breasts look almost exactly the way they did before. My nipples are back to being at the same level, instead of the right one pointing down. I just have to be patient and let the muscle and breast tissue fill back in on the top. I am so HAPPY!

Hey there! Welcome, and thanks for sharing your story with us. I hope you'll get lots of support from the community. Congratulations! You look fantastic! How's your scarring? I hope everything is healing well.

Scarring looks great. They are longer than before, but that's because she needed room to stitch the muscle back together. I have started massaging the scars with aloe and coconut oil to soften them.

Wow, your story is so uplifting as I too have joint pains and it takes me longer to heal if i cut myself, I am considering getting my breast implants removed after having them for 7 years and don't want them to look saggy after implant removal, will probably have a breast lift....Thx for your story:)
