Reason for Explant

[Guest guest]

I'm new to this forum, so hang with me. Just so you all know my

implant background here is my story:

In Feb. 2005 I had my BA surgery, which went just fine without any

complications or problems and even the pain was totally manageable.

In May 2005 just 3 months post surgery, I woke up with numb fingers

(severe carpal tunnel). Of course, I didn't think anything of this

since in the past I've had problems with Carpal Tunnel. But I thought

it was kind of strange that it was an overnight onset of pain and

numbness. A few weeks later I woke up and my feet hurt when I walked

on them (later to be diagnosed with Bursitis).

After about 4 weeks of pain now in both my hands and feet I decided to

go see a Dr. They did a bunch of blood work on me which showed a

Positive ANA. I didn't really know what to think other than now I

have Lupus (later to know that positive ANA could mean anything). I

was referred to a Rhematologist who ran a large panel of blood work on

me (20+ viles) which showed nothing (this was done in July). They

basically sent me away saying there's nothing wrong with you that is

showing up with your blood and to just wait it out and see if any

other symptoms come on.

So here I was in a three month wait with my Dr. During that time, I

started to feel more tired, sick and could not remember anything for

my life.

In Nov. I went back to my Dr. I said every morning my feet hurt and

have not stopped since May. What is wrong? So my Dr. decided to do a

MRI on my feet which diagnosed Bursitis. May I add that I'm only 27

and have bursitis.... I also had a Nerve Conduction Study done on my

hands which showed severe carpal tunnel in my right hand and mild in

my left.

Now I'm seeing a foot Dr. who does not know why I have bursitis.

Nurologist for Carpal Tunnel

Rheumatologist who doesn't know what's wrong with me

MRI People

General Practicioner

Bone Scan People

The list goes on...

I recently came down with Esophagitis last week which was caused by

some fungus in my esophagis. Wait... did I say fungus... YES fungus.

How do you get a fungus in your throat?

In any case, I wanted to know if there are other people out there like

me who delivered symptoms not right after their implants, but maybe

months or so.

I have my surgery date scheduled for Jan. 4th, 2006 just about 1 year

after my inital BA surgery.

I truely hope that after my surgery, I'm on the road to regaining the

health I once had.
