Good find, !

Here it is for all to see:

Silicone Implants Can Cause Arthritis Like Condition

Artificial medical devices that are implanted into the body for long periods of time may increase a woman's chance of developing a rare disorder known as undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD).

UCTD is a condition that causes pain and swelling in joints and often leads to severe cold sensitivity.

Women with silicone-containing implants were nearly three times more likely than women without such devices to have a diagnosis of UCTD.

Similarly, women with non-silicone implanted medical devices were five times more likely to have the disorder.

American Journal of Epidemiology October 2001;154:610-617
